Transit-oriented developments (TODs) are urban areas designed to maximize access to public transportation. They typically feature a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within walking distance of transit stations, such as subways or light rail. This design encourages people to use public transport instead of cars, reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable living. TODs aim to create vibrant communities by integrating various land uses and promoting walkability. By focusing on public transit access, these developments help lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. They also enhance local economies by attracting businesses and residents who value convenient transportation options.
