TOD Guidelines

TOD Guidelines, or Transit-Oriented Development Guidelines, are planning principles used to create communities centered around public transportation. They encourage building homes, shops, and workplaces close to transit stations to make it easy for people to use trains, buses, or other transit options. The goal is to reduce reliance on cars, improve commute times, and promote walkable neighborhoods with amenities nearby. These guidelines help city planners design smarter, more sustainable communities that support efficient transportation, conserve space, and enhance residents’ quality of life by integrating transit and development seamlessly.
