At its April 2017 meeting, the SFRTA Board adopted a Transit Oriented Development policy that describes SFRTA's guiding interest in encouraging station-area TOD and the basic elements needed to create successful TODs. The SFRTA Board also adopted an approach for local government outreach with SFRPC and TCRPC. SFRTA and RPC staff will meet with local governments that have Tri-Rail stations located on the South Florida Rail Corridor. The purpose of these meetings will be to familiarize the local governments with SFRTA's TOD Policy and the many mutual benefits of TOD. SFRTA will also gather information on local governments' current and planned TOD-supportive land development regulations.
SFRTA adopted a TOD Policy and Outreach Strategy in April 2017, and has contracted with the RPCs to conduct outreach to meet w/local governments along the SFRC rail corridor for the purpose of introducing/discussing the new policy and local gov LDRs relative to TOD. SFRTA also received an FTA grant to conduct TOD planning activities along the Tri-Rail Coastal Link (TRCL) FEC corridor; together with the RPCs, 4 charrettes and several local gov workshops will be held over the next 12 months for public input on station location, design, and TOD development elements.
