Transit Oriented Development

Transit oriented development ordinance (2018 and 2020 amendments)

The City of Sacramento passed a Transit-Oriented Development Ordinance in 2018 and amended the ordinance in 2020 to incentivize transit supportive uses near light rail stations, and to preserve transit areas for appropriate development opportunities. See this webpage for details.

The City of Sacramento supports increased transit use through the provision of new service lines and the extension of existing lines, increased frequency of service, and the provision of direct pedestrian and bicycle access to transit station areas. Increased transit access and use will further the City’s efforts to become more sustainable and energy efficient. Transit and land use should be linked, with transit stations integrated into walkable, transit-oriented districts and neighborhoods.
