Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a
pattern of development that supports (and is supported by) an
efficient transit system. However, it implies much more than making public transit possible.
The goal of transit-oriented development is to create
communities where dependence on the automobile is reduced, and
where the balance of multiple means of transportation (transit,
automobiles, bicycles, walking) help to increase the
accessibility of goods and services
to people of all ages and incomes, the affordability and variety
of housing, and the energy and resource efficiency of
neighborhoods, cities and regions.
SCAT is planning for its future
and we want your input on public transportation services in
Sarasota County. Please stop by anytime during the
open house and let us know what services you
want and need.
Transit Oriented Development creates neighborhoods with easy
access to public transportation and safe walking areas for
pedestrians. For more information contact the
Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000.
