GET INVOLVED!

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is not a one-size fits all development pattern. TOD exists at varying scales, forms, and compositions relative to the setting in which it is located. Three TOD Place Types - Regional Centers, Town Centers, and Neighborhood Centers - have been identified for

the station areas along the US 98 corridor. Place Types help to further explore station locations and refine transit options while keeping within community context and the vision for future development.

Benefits ofTransit Oriented

Development (TOD)

Provides a diversity of uses

Incorporates strong open space elements and placemaking features

Manages parking and reduces surface parking

Maximizes street connectivity

Orients building frontages to the street

Creates opportunities for affordable, attainable and workforce housing

Encourages highest density and intensity in first 1/8 to 1/4 mile

Catalyzes new development

Emphasizes walk, bike, micro-mobility, transit and slow speed vehicles

TOD is the intentional design of places within the first one-half to one-quarter mile of a transit station to encourage transit use, walking and biking. TOD is compact, mixed use and walkable. TOD:
