Department of Transportation’s Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning
The Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning aims to improve public transportation by providing funding to local communities to integrate land use and transportation planning with a new fixed guideway or core capacity transit capital investment. Local grantees must use the funding to:

• Improve economic development and ridership
• Foster multimodal connectivity and accessibility
• Improve transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic
• Engage the private sector
• Identify infrastructure needs
• Enable mixed-use development near transit stations

The Federal Transit Administration is “reviewing opportunities to prioritize TOD planning grants in areas of high incidence rates of homelessness.”
