• TOD, or transit-oriented development,

means integrated urban places designed to PEOPLE

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPEMENT

• TOD is the key to more efficient,

sustainable, and equitable
communities because it prioritizes
the “3Cs”:
compact
coordinated
connected
• TOD requires the development of
mixed neighborhoods which are
well integrated with pedestrian,
bicycle, feeder and transit networks.
 TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPEMENT
1.WALK: Develop neighborhoods that
promote walking
2.CYCLE: Prioritize non motorized
transport networks
3.CONNECT: Create dense networks of
streets and paths
4.TRANSIT: Locate development near
high-quality public transport
5.MIX: Plan for mixed use
6.DENSIFY: Optimize density and
transit capacity
7.COMPACT: Create regions with short
commutes
8.SHIFT: Increase mobility by
regulating parking and road use

This has resulted in huge increase in travel demand and has been
predominantly catered to by private vehicles due to inadequate public
transport. The current share of public transport is about 48% . However, as
per norms, the minimum share of public transport should be 70%.

• While the Goals of RMP-2031(draft) is to develop

(i) adequate transport network with hierarchy,
(ii)achieve land use transport integration
(iii)promote TOD
(iv)increase public transport share
the intent is not supported by land use strategies and development control regulations (DCRs).

• Therefore, RMP-2031 has not proposed enhanced FSI in TOD Zone in Planning Area-A and
enhanced FSI of 4 is proposed within 150 m on either metro in Planning Area-B (RMP-2031 also
proposes to add another 80 sq.km for urbanization and thus encouraging urban sprawl.

• TOD policy promotes compact development and thus helps in achieving higher patronage of
public transport. The above will help in optimum utilization of public investments and opens up
avenues for value capture from the investments made on mass transit.

WHY TOD?

therefore requires strategies to stabilize
growth and interventions that discourage
commercialization of economic centers.
• There is a need to increase the public
transport share from current 48% to 70%
and enhance accessibility and mobility of
people which is a pre-requisite for more
liveable and resilient city. In this regard,
huge investments are being made to
expand the mass transit systems i.e. metro
rail and commuter rail in Bengaluru.
