Transit-oriented development

Transit-oriented development is a way of developing cities and towns around public transportation like buses, subways, and trains. It encourages people to use public transportation because it makes getting to and from places easier. Transit-oriented development brings more people and businesses to an area, making neighborhoods and cities more vibrant. Transit-oriented development also helps reduce traffic and pollution because fewer people need to drive cars.
