Land Use & Zoning

In Montana's municipal planning, a 'transit-oriented development' (TOD) zone would be most appropriate in:

ARural ranch lands without public transportation
BAreas near bus rapid transit corridors or rail stations with higher density mixed-use development✓ Correct
CIndustrial districts near highways only
DSingle-family residential neighborhoods with low density

Explanation

Transit-oriented development zones are placed near transit hubs to encourage higher-density, walkable, mixed-use development that supports public transit use. In Montana cities like Billings and Missoula that are developing bus rapid transit systems, TOD zones can reduce car dependency and support urban infill.
