TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 10 PRINCIPLES
The following 10 principles are general guidelines for planning TOD districts and neighborhoods.
Densities,details,and design vary project by project depending on many factors including
location,context,availability of redevelopment property,surrounding development,etc. .g
These 10 principles are a starting point for further work preparing specific local development plans I '�
working with the community.Examples of these plans are located on our'Reports'page.
1.Put stations in locations with highest ridership potential and development opportunities
2.Designate 1/2 mile radius around station as higher density,mixed-use,walkable development
3.Create range of densities with highest at station,tapering down to existing neighborhoods
4.Design station site for seamless pedestrian connections to surrounding development* y i"
5.Create public plaza directly fronting one or more sides of the station building
6.Create retail and cafe streets leading to station entrances along main pedestrian connections
7.Reduce parking at station,site a block or two away,direct pedestrian Flow along retail streets
8.Enhance multi-modal connections,making transfers easy,direct,and comfortable
9.Incorporate bikeshare,a comprehensive bikeway network,and large ride-in bike parking areas
10.Use station as catalyst for major redevelopment of area and great placemaking around station
*Getting the layout of the station right is one of the most important early moves that will lock in desirable or undesirable
patterns,and dictate many factors including pedestrian and bicycle use,level of traffic all around the station,quality of
station area development,location of cafes and retail,and overall success of the rail system.
Avoid the conventional"station In a parking lot"scenario shown below on the left.

Some of the benefits of TOD include: LA

investments have occurred
• Improved access to jobs and economic opportunity for low-income people and working families
• Expanded mobility choices that reduce dependence on the automobile,reduce transportation costs and free
up household income for other purposes
