Good things come in threes! VTA is ramping up planning for three new Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) properties. These projects are poised to play a key role in addressing the affordable housing crisis, supporting climate goals, and generating long-term revenue for transit operations, among other benefits.
VTA will hold an open house for each property, which will provide an opportunity to learn about VTA’s TOD Program and development opportunities, including affordable housing, at each location. The events will also feature a station access study pop-up, which analyzes multi-modal station access and circulation at each station.
Get to know each property and learn about engagement opportunities below:
