Transit-oriented development (TOD) refers to residential and commercial areas designed to maximize access to public transport, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a rail or bus station, surrounded by relatively high-density development with progressively lower-density development spreading outwards from the center. TODs generally have a diameter of one-quarter to one-half mile (0.4 to 0.8 km), as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians.
