Washington, DC - Capital TOD Study

The District of Columbia's Office of Planning (DCOP) is working to maximize the value of transit-served areas and transform them into fully functioning Transit Oriented Developments (TOD). To assist DCOP, Nelson\Nygaard led a team of transportation, land use, and economic development planners in a study of 35 sites as a preliminary step toward establishing new TOD zoning standards that strike the right balance between a "one-size-fits-all" approach and a cumbersome series of TOD overlays. The sites were selected to represent the range of TOD opportunities across the District—sites with different characteristics that have yet to substantially achieve their TOD-potential.
