Portland & TOD Typologies
April 19, 2011
More News & Resources:
Yesterday we released the Portland Metro TOD Strategic Plan. The value of this plan is to show where investments should be targeted that will actually move the market in the right direction. The goals of the Metro TOD program include creating market comparables and cultivating developers to build higher density mixed use developments. A lot of times outside of downtowns, these folks are somewhat rare so the program seeks to develop that skill set as well as influence local markets.

Metro TOD Program Transit-Oriented Development Strategic Plan

I. Introduction
The Portland region has a successful history at achieving transit-oriented development and compact growth. It continues to outperform many of its peer regions when it comes to connecting jobs to transit, promoting alternative modes of transportation beyond the car, and promoting successful new compact development.
But, there is room for improvement throughout the region as a whole. Many areas outside of central Portland have not been able to generate momentum for infill and higher-density development and the creation of more walkable, livable neighborhoods. New development near transit and amenity-rich walkable communities remain priced out of reach for many households. Thus, the combined cost of housing and transportation burdens many families, and particularly low- and moderate-income families. Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation continue to be key environmental challenges in the region. The Metro TOD Program fills a…

A Framework For Transit Oriented Development In Florida
March 1, 2011|Florida Department of Transportation
More News & Resources:
Introduction
Why develop this framework and how can it be used?
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in partnership with the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), developed A Framework for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in Florida to address how TOD can be a part of transforming Florida's existing auto-oriented, largely suburban patterns of development into more compact, livable patterns that support walking, biking, transit, and shorter-length auto trips. This effort was initiated as local governments in Florida increasingly encountered TOD concepts and projects characterized as "TOD" for adoption in their comprehensive plans, land development codes, and development review processes. A working group composed of agency and local government representatives was formed to develop Floridaspecifc TOD design guidelines and implementation strategies. FDOT held a series of ten workshops across the state to present draft TOD materials. In response to input received…

Frameworks of Sustainable Transit Communities
February 1, 2011|Office of the Mayor, City of Los Angeles
More News & Resources:
This report describes the key principles for creating successful STCs. These principles will be incorporated into future planning efforts. Many of these principles can be implemented by the City through public improvements. Others will require cooperation from private developers as they construct new buildings and rehabilitate Los Angeles’ existing stock of buildings. In some cases, public/private partnerships may be the most effective way to translate these principles into successful, thriving STCs.
