More about the Technical Assistance

The Project will be providing municipalities in Westchester and Rockland Counties with tools and resources for developing and implementing TOD planning and land use solutions that meet a broad range of community goals and objectives. It has selected a team of three TOD consultants: Project for Public Spaces, the Regional Plan Association, and Reconnecting America. The TOD consultants will be developing customized cases based on the scenarios in several corridor communities. The outcome of the technical assistance process will reflect a transportation-specific conceptualization of communities as envisioned by municipal leaders, planners, and those they serve, such as citizen groups, residents, business leaders and all community members who participate. Products of all exercises are meant to be instructive and not actual community visions. The intent is to familiarize participants with the process and steps associated with TOD concepts and issues and challenges covered in the training.

The Project Team hosted opening events to officially launch the initiative on November 16, 2009 in Westchester County and November 19, 2009 in Rockland County
