Regional Transit Oriented Development

Regional Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban planning approach that focuses on creating vibrant, accessible communities around transit hubs like train stations or bus stops. The goal is to encourage more people to use public transportation by designing neighborhoods with mixed-use spaces—residential, commercial, and recreational—within walking distance. This reduces reliance on cars, eases traffic congestion, and promotes sustainable growth. Effective TOD fosters convenient, walkable neighborhoods that connect residents to jobs, amenities, and transit options, making cities more liveable and environmentally friendly.
