Getting It Done: TOD Workshop Series

In 2010, LISC, CTOD, and others hosted a series of technical workshops on transit-oriented development (TOD). The purpose of these sessions is to strengthen the local implementation of transit-oriented districts along the existing and emerging LRT, BRT, and commuter lines throughout the Twin Cities region.
This page serves as a repository for the workshops' discussions and findings. Each of the sessions has a separate page, where powerpoint presentations and notes from the session can be found.
