Prioritize TOD in the Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act

Amend the State Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act to improve the direction of resources to projects that advance transit-oriented development.

Page 394: "The State should enact legislation to amend the State Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act to more effectively direct State resources to projects that advance TOD, as well as add a definition of, and criteria for, TOD that includes rail and bus and the particular transit needs of rural areas. Amendments should extend applicability of this law to all State agencies and authorities and all relevant State programs, including planning and design grants (not just infrastructure)."
