29 Transit Oriented Development MARTA TOD guidelines (1) organize the 38 MARTA stations into typologies largely based on desired level of density, (2) detail the physical development standards for each typology, and (3) provide guidance on the approach to replacement of existing transit facilities such as parking. Through these transformative TOD projects MARTA is helping to create vibrant neighborhoods w with the addition of over 49,000 SF of parks and public space, 445,000 SF of retail space, 70,000 SF of office space and 1,200 housing units. 29
