7.2 Definition
A transit oriented development (TOD) is a mixed use residential and commercial area
designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage
transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a transit station or stop
(train station, metro station, tram stop, or bus stop), surrounded by relatively high-density
development with progressively lower-density development spreading outward from the
center. TODs generally are located within a radius of one-quarter to one-half mile (400 to 800
m) from a transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians, thus
solving the last mile problem.
TOD results in the creation of compact, walkable and livable communities, with access to
amenities, centered on high quality mass transit station.
It helps in keeping the smooth flow of traffic thereby minimizing the travel time for the
people to reach their destination.
It can be focused on the people of lower or middle income group. These people are huge
in population and can be largely benefitted.
Even though increase in urban agglomeration, the development of cities can be planned in
order to satisfy the requirements of the citizens.
Manage diverse mix of land uses, with access to shared social amenities and open spaces.
Improve design for pedestrian access, with active street edges and a people-oriented
urban form.
Enhance public transport access, comfort, and inter Enhance public transport access,
comfort, and inter-modal connectivity to improve accessibility to destinations;
Decrease distance to transit distance to transit and encourage local walking and cycling
and encourage local walking and cycling trips.
Rationalize private vehicle usage through rationalize private vehicle usage through

6. Horizontal (side-by-side) and vertical
streets.
A series of road based networks, are included under the TOD strategy
1. Hubs along arterial roads such as Ambedkar road-Dadar circle, Matunga circle and
circle, and Sion circle,
Intensification of land uses and facilitating compact high density mixed use
developments in areas around railway stations, (but fails to state accessibility to
amenities and public transit as an important objective.)
