NO TOD Act
Sponsored By: Representative Perry, Scott [R-PA-10]
Introduced
Summary
Removes transit-oriented development from federal transportation financing programs. The NO TOD Act would bar TOD projects and commercial or residential components from receiving TIFIA or RRIF support and would eliminate the MAP‑21 TOD planning pilot, with those limits applying to applications submitted on or after enactment.
Show full summary
- Developers and real estate investors would lose access to two federal loan programs for projects that include housing or retail near transit, making it harder to use TIFIA or RRIF credit to finance mixed‑use developments.
- Transit agencies and local governments would no longer be able to rely on TIFIA, RRIF, or the MAP‑21 pilot to fund TOD planning or to tie station investments directly to surrounding commercial or residential projects.
- Urban planners, affordable housing advocates, and communities aiming to build walkable, mixed‑use corridors near rail or bus lines would face reduced federal incentives that often help attract private capital to those projects.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Ban federal loans for transit-area development
If enacted, the bill would bar transit-oriented development projects from receiving TIFIA assistance. A "transit-oriented development project" would mean project parts designed for commercial or residential use. The ban would apply to TIFIA project applications submitted on or after the date of enactment. Developers, transit agencies, and local governments would lose this federal loan option for TOD components.
Bar federal rail loans for transit-area development
If enacted, the bill would remove transit-oriented development as a consideration for RRIF loans and strike statutory language that counted TOD. The change would apply to direct loan and loan guarantee applications submitted on or after the date of enactment. Railroads, transit agencies, and project sponsors would be less able to use RRIF support for TOD-focused projects.
End federal transit-oriented planning pilot
If enacted, the bill would repeal the federal transit-oriented development planning pilot created in MAP-21 by striking the pilot provision from the statute. The repeal would remove the statutory authority for that pilot going forward. State and local planning agencies and transit agencies would no longer have that pilot program to use. No new funding is provided.
