Abstract
Contributors to this book have discussed America’s oil dependence and have offered some creative solutions that focus on making transportation systems more sustainable and oil-free. However, as some authors in the book have noted, transportation-only solutions are not enough; we also need to create communities that facilitate transit use, walking, and bicycling through the design of the built environment. This chapter focuses on the role of transit-oriented development (TOD) in reducing oil dependence.
