Across the country, transit-oriented development projects (TOD) have improved community residents’ access to jobs, schools, services, and destinations, while linking businesses to regional economies. In the Twin Cities, both local and national funders, including Surdna Foundation, have come together to support community groups and businesses along the corridor of a light rail line connecting Saint Paul and Minneapolis, fostering these neighborhoods as “places of opportunity that are accessible to people all income levels, reflect community identities, and link all people to local amenities and regional opportunities”.
