The RTD board will take a final vote next week on a new policy designed to encourage more housing to be built on the agency’s property near its stations — mostly park and rides — across the metro.
Among the most important pieces of that new policy is a non-binding goal that 35 percent of all housing units built on RTD property be affordable. The new policy would also give RTD staff more flexibility to allow housing developments that don’t include a garage to replace every parking spot they use. The agency’s own research suggests that people that live in affordable housing need less parking and use transit more.
