The City of Huntsville, Alabama was awarded a $850,000 Project Grant from the Federal Transit Administration's Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500) to support a transit-oriented development (TOD) planning study. The study aims to identify opportunities for quality, transit-supportive development along a future high-capacity bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor in Huntsville. Key activities include retrofitting local streets to improve bicycle/pedestrian connectivity to BRT stations, removing infrastructure barriers to create pedestrian-friendly environments, and conducting land use reforms to enable higher-density, mixed-use development. The study will also develop conceptual station designs and explore affordable housing strategies to promote equitable TOD. The planning effort is expected to start this summer and conclude in mid-2025, with the goal of enhancing transit accessibility, increasing ridership, and promoting economic productivity and housing opportunities along the future BRT corridor.
