Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning
The Pilot Program for TOD Planning helps support FTAs mission of improving public transportation for Americas communities by providing funding to local communities to integrate land use and transportation planning with a New Starts, Core Capacity or fixed-guideway Small Starts project that will seek
funding through the CIG Program.
MAP-21 establishes that any comprehensive planning funded through the program must examine ways to improve economic development and ridership, foster multimodal connectivity and accessibility, improve transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, engage the private sector, identify infrastructure needs, and enable mixed-use development near transit stations.
