2024 Transit-Oriented Communities Planning and Implementation Grants
Planning funding opportunities are focused on TOC Policy implementation. Grants and technical assistance are available to help local jurisdictions develop plans and policies that comply with the four components of
- New Residential and Commercial Office Development Densities – This component seeks to ensure that local planning policies and zoning regulations enable new development within TOC areas to be built at sufficiently high densities to support transit ridership and transit mode share.
- Housing Policies – This component affirmatively furthers fair housing through protection, preservation, and production policies focused on affordable housing.
- Parking Management – This component aims to reduce automobile trips and prioritize the limited land area near transit for other shared transportation modes and active transportation.
- Station Access and Circulation – This component improves multimodal access to and within TOC station areas by improving complete streets, closing access gaps, and planning for mobility hubs.
