Transit Oriented Communities (TOCs)are places (such as corridors and neighborhoods) that, by their design, allow people to drive less and access transit more.
A TOC maximizes equitable access to a multi-modal transit network as a key organizing principle of land use and holistic community development

Policies: Metro’s Equity Platform
Access to opportunity: a core concept to public decision-making, public investment, and public service• Vast disparity exists in LA County among
neighborhoods and individuals:➢ To seize opportunity – jobs, housing,
education, health, safety;➢ To improve their circumstances to do so.
• Transportation is an essential lever to enable that access.
