Metro New York Transit-Oriented Development Newsletter

by: Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center   

This recently launched newsletter is designed to keep municipal officials, planners and advocates up to date on the potential for development and redevelopment around the region’s transit stations and stops.

The newsletter is an effort of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center (VTC), Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, at Rutgers University, supported with funding from Citi, which aims to enrich the transit-oriented development (TOD) conversation in the New York City metropolitan region. This region includes a large variety of communities—from the city's densest neighborhoods to our area's outlying suburbs—all connected by transit with the potential to use and benefit from that transit.

The publication highlights best practices, model programs, legislation and local problem-solving experiences of those in the region and the nation. Local leaders and the public will find these articles of value as we all strive to create livable, sustainable and thriving communities.

"...although our efforts to increase green space and healthy food in neighborhoods will improve healthy options, improving the social inequity in our community will be necessary to improve our health."
