FTA Announces $13.1 Million in Grant Awards to Help Communities Plan for Transit-Oriented Development

Published on: November 18, 2022

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) today announced 19 awards totaling approximately $13.1 million from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help boost local economies, fight climate change, and provide more transportation options through development near new or expanded transit project corridors.

These grants, funded by FTA’s Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning, support local strategies to increase transit access and encourage ridership through mixed-use and mixed-income development near public transportation projects.

The program helps communities plan for opportunities created by new transit stations, such as affordable housing, economic development, and better connections to schools, hospitals, stores, and restaurants.
