New Guide Explores How Cities Can Build Equitable Transit-Oriented Communities

The report highlights practical tools, real-world challenges, and strategies that are helping transit investments deliver more equitable outcomes across the U.S.

We’re excited to release Equitable Transit-Oriented Communities: Promising Tools and Approaches, developed in collaboration with our friends at Nelson\Nygaard. Drawing on research, interviews, and practitioner insights from across the country, the guide traces how the field is moving beyond traditional transit-oriented development toward human-centered, resilient approaches.

We explore common challenges agencies face, the goals they’re setting, and the regulatory, economic, and design tools showing real promise. Designed for busy practitioners, the guide offers a clear, actionable framework for shaping the long-term community impacts of today’s transit investments.
