Explanation
Transit-oriented development (TOD) creates compact, walkable, mixed-use communities around transit stations (train, bus rapid transit, light rail). Delaware's DART First State transit system and rail connections to Philadelphia support TOD opportunities in Wilmington and along the Northeast Corridor. TOD can increase property values near transit.
