6. NEW BUSINESS
TRANSIT ORIENTED COMMUNITIES (TOC) POLICY
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) adopted the TOC
Policy in September of 2022 to support equitable, transit-friendly
development near transit stations and corridors. Santa Rosa has two
TOCs which include the North Station Area and the Downtown Station
Area. The policy promotes communities where people of all incomes,
abilities, and backgrounds can live, work, and access services while
encouraging increased transit ridership. Compliance with the TOC
Policy will support the City in achieving local and state climate targets
and is a condition for eligibility in future MTC funding rounds, including
the upcoming One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) 4 cycle. The subcommittee
may discuss this item and give direction to staff.
