Portland Transit-Oriented Development Strategic Plan

This Strategic Plan is designed to guide future investments by the Metro TOD Program, in order to ensure the program maximizes the opportunities for catalyzing transit-oriented development throughout the region and effectively leverages additional resources to comprehensively advance TOD in all station areas and frequent bus corridors. 

This plan contains the following components: 

• Cultivating developers with expertise in higher-density and mixed-use devel- opment in suburban settings. 
• An evaluation of regional existing conditions influencing the ability of TOD as a strategy to achieve Metro’s 2040 Growth Concept goals. 
• A typology framework that classifies station areas and corridors based on their “TOD readiness.”
• Guidelines for phasing of TOD Program activities based on this typology.
