Shaping the Future of Transit Oriented Development (Emerging Leaders Program)

Our team sees great opportunity in the future of transit-oriented development (TOD). We believe TOD has the potential to promote thriving communities and transit use.  TOD is largely dependent upon policy and developer partnerships, which require complex stakeholder collaboration. We plan to research TOD implementations, explore the factors that influenced their outcomes, and gain a better understanding of how the industry can facilitate TOD success. We define success as ridership growth and improved access to social and economic opportunities.
