TTOD TALK Blog
The TTOD TALK Blog aims to stimulate a conversation around Transformative Transit-Oriented Development (TTOD). We invite you to share your feedback in the comments or to our team at ttod@massinc.org. We’d also like to hear about ways in which your city or town has been transforming transit-oriented neighborhoods across Massachusetts.
Note that the opinions expressed here represent the views of the individual author, not MassINC. We reserve the right to remove any posts that do not contribute to meaningful dialogue about how we can transform Massachusetts cities through transit-oriented development.
