State laws that support Transit-Oriented Development

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is becoming increasingly popular as a method for creating sustainable, walkable, and livable communities. Many states in the US have recognized the benefits of TOD and have enacted laws that support it. These laws include zoning regulations that encourage dense development around transit nodes, incentives for developers who build near transit, and funding for transportation projects that improve access to transit. Additionally, state laws can require that a certain percentage of housing be classified as affordable, further promoting equity and long-term sustainability. States that have implemented TOD-friendly laws have seen economic and environmental benefits, including reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, and increased business opportunities.
