Pilot Program for Transit Oriented Development Program
Meeting the growing needs of rural tribal communities
This program provides funding for local communities to focus growth around transit stations to create mixed-use settings with easy access to jobs and services.
The Pilot Program for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Planning is a discretionary grant program that helps support Federal Transit Administration’s mission of improving public transportation for America’s communities by providing funding to local communities to integrate land use and transportation planning with a new fixed guideway or core capacity transit capital investment. TOD focuses growth around transit stations to create compact, mixed-use communities with easy access to jobs and services. TOD capitalizes on public investments in transit and supports transit systems by increasing ridership and fare revenue.
Grants may be made for site specific and 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.
