TOD Planning Grant Program and Transit Supportive Planning Toolkit

The TOD Planning Grant Program & Transit-Supportive Planning Toolkit support existing rail systems with 113 stations and 131.7 miles. This toolkit, funded by the Strategic Growth Council, offers online resources, best practices, and tools to encourage transit-supportive planning. It includes 10 key elements of transit-supportive places and provides strategies, case studies, and tools for land use, environmental, economic, and outreach aspects. The goal is to aid city/county efforts in complying with State mandates, leveraging funding sources, and facilitating knowledge sharing. The toolkit aligns with Metro's objectives and aims to create a foundation for future TOD planning grant cycles.
