What is an E-TOD? An Equitable-Transit Oriented Development (E-TOD) is a type of sustainable smart growth development that maximizes the amount of residential, business and public space within walking distance of public transport. A Transit Oriented Development encourages walkability and use of public transit to reduce dependency on cars while reducing the carbon footprint and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The “E” in E-TOD is equitable which means that people of all ages, incomes, and abilities have access to housing, services, amenities and public transportation.
