A recent AARP survey found strong support for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) among adults ages 50 and up. TOD consists of livable neighborhoods that include access to public transit, housing, and necessary services. The study found that 2/3 of respondents believe it is important to have transportation options outside of driving personal vehicles. Survey respondents also felt that, regardless of income level or political affiliation, public transit should be “safe, reliable, and accessible.”
