Explanation
TOD integrates residential, commercial, and public spaces near transit hubs, enabling residents to live and work without cars. In the Las Vegas Valley, the RTC Transit Riders program and discussions about rail connections to California have spurred TOD planning around transit corridors. Henderson and North Las Vegas have also explored mixed-use development around planned transportation nodes. TOD affects zoning, density allowances, and land values near transit infrastructure.
