Description: Planning and implementing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) requires the collaboration of many different agencies and organizations that each undertake TOD-related efforts. The Planning Department determined that mapping TOD areas would help facilitate the implementation and support TOD investments within the City of Miami. TOD is a planning and design trend that seeks to create walkable communities centered on a transportation node (transit station, transit route, or bus stop). The concept of the transportation node is an area of increased density near public transit. TOD communities will include certain features that encourage the use of public transit such as pedestrian facilities, improved pedestrian crossings, reduced parking ratios, and the tapering down of buildings as they become more distant from the transportation node.
