Transit Improvement Program

Purpose
This program provides loans for projects that increase the effectiveness of transit by incorporating commercial, residential, or mixed-use development and provide for safe, pedestrian-friendly use.

Customers and Services
Customers are local government authorities who are approved for designated Transit Improvement Area (TIA) loans. Designated TIAs are land parcels encompassing a 1/2 mile radius around bus rapid transit, light rail transit and commuter rail stations.

There were no state funds available during the reporting period; however, DEED has recently made designations with the intention of leveraging applications for other sources of funding. DEED designated 53 station areas as TIAs.
