Transit-Oriented Development & Responsible Growth

Overview

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is working to use transit centers to enhance economic development, job-accessible housing, retail amenities and quality of life in many of Connecticut’s walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. Responsible Growth is a strategy to accommodate this future development in a way that reinforces existing communities, uses resources efficiently and protects the environment.

The Department of Economic and Community Development, along with other agencies, helps administer various projects funded under the Responsible Growth and Transit-Oriented Development (RGTOD) Grant Program, which is designed to facilitate development that enhances rather than compromises the state’s long-term prosperity and environmental quality.
