Fort Lauderdale wants to be a place where people can get around easily. It hired a team to help meet this goal by studying Transit Oriented Development (TOD), which creates walkable communities. TOD supports a vibrant live, work, and play environment featuring easy-to-navigate neighborhoods. The project achieves the city’s twin goals of being an urban center and a major vacation destination sustained by an accessible, resilient, and connected community.

Fort Lauderdale’s top infrastructure goal is to become pedestrian-friendly; building communities that are easy to access and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities is central to meeting this goal. Premium transit service is an important element that determines the success of these places. PlusUrbia Design is part of the team that reviewed best practices for creating healthy communities built around transit. As part of its TOD urban design services under the prime firm, Kittelson & Associates. The study created a zoning code to support TOD.
