What are transit-oriented communities or transit-oriented developments?

Transit-oriented communities (TOCs) or transit-oriented developments (TODs) offer a model for community-centric planning, which puts people in areas with convenient and safe mobility options to nearby services. These communities prioritise people by considering why they move first, then developing space- and energy-sensitive networks to support them, providing opportunities to make mobility choices with balance, and eliminating vehicular travel as the default choice. TOCs encourage active, walkable and healthy neighbourhoods that reduce the need for private vehicle trips, resulting in significantly less space and capital-intensive infrastructure solutions.

TOCs as gateways to health and mobility
To support intergenerational mobility, these spaces must be welcoming, flexible, and accessible, providing an environment where the journey itself is an enjoyable experience. As our communities embark on revolutionary investment in social infrastructure, including hospitals and community health centres, the role of TOCs in providing access to health care becomes incredibly beneficial.
