TOD to TOC: From the Ground Up

Let’s demystify TOD (transit-oriented development) in order to get better TOC (transit-oriented communities). Join with industry veterans to learn the foundational elements of TOC. Get into the implications: for ridership, parking, placemaking, equity and more. Find out how one legacy transit system is building on best practices of long-established TOD programs to push forward our understanding of successful, equitable TOC. Although TOC looks different in every community, this session will explore ways to understand successful transit-oriented development within different contexts and demystify the most efficient path forward.
