Transit-Oriented Development East to West w/ Urban Planning is Not Boring

Four Degrees to the Streets

Happy New Year! In this special joint episode, the Four Degrees to the Streets and Urban Planning is Not Boring podcasts come together to discuss Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Hosts Nimo, Jas, Sam, and Nat use their expertise and experience living in TODs as a backdrop to give a coast-to-coast perspective on this complex subject. Press play to hear:

• TOD defined as a mixed-use community that encourages people to live near transit services and decrease their dependence on driving and its key components and history
• Examples of TOD programs including BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), NJ Transit, the City of Chicago's ETOD (equitable transit-oriented development) plan, and the Federal Transit Administration TOD Pilot Program
• Considerations for the future of TOD
