Establishes "Enhanced Transit Village Program" to be administered by Office of Planning Advocacy in Department of State and DOT.
This bill establishes the "Enhanced Transit Village Program" to help municipalities near transit hubs (rail, bus, or ferry stops) develop walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods with denser housing. It requires participating towns to adopt zoning that allows at least 50 housing units per acre within a quarter-mile of transit and 25 units per acre further out, while mandating 30% affordable housing (with flexibility for distressed municipalities). The program provides technical assistance and prioritizes funding for projects improving pedestrian access, reducing car dependency, and meeting smart growth standards. It is administered by the Office of Planning Advocacy (Department of State) with DOT handling transportation infrastructure, funded initially by $50 million from the Transportation Trust Fund.
