This document discusses transit-oriented development (TOD) and provides recommendations for effective TOD planning. It explains that TOD focuses on intensifying land use around transit stations to improve access to transit via walking and cycling. It emphasizes connecting communities to transit, mixing land uses, and prioritizing pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly streets over car-oriented design. The document also addresses parking standards, noting that excessive parking encourages driving and that cities like Paris and Strasbourg provide discounts or waivers for developments near transit to reduce parking needs. Finally, it recommends a TOD vision that includes high-density development around transit, walkable and bikeable streets, and vibrant public spaces to create active, people-oriented communities.
