The South Virginia Street TOD Plan’s purpose is to envision the future extension of the Virginia Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service to south Reno and develop the land use planning tools that will encourage a walkable, transit‐supportive development pattern that meets the growth and development needs of the region.

WHAT IS TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT?

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a form of city planning that is focused on creating vibrant and pedestrian-oriented communities. This is done through the creation of mixed-use developments, walkable infrastructure, and availability of public transportation options in order to reduce dependency on automobiles as the sole mode of transportation. The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) and its partners have utilized TOD to improve the transit options for Nevadans across Reno, Sparks and Washoe County; we are currently seeking public input and feedback on the Draft Plan, the links to which can be found below.
