Connecticutís transit-oriented development (TOD) efforts have been ongoing for a decade, but face implementation challenges. This research analyzed the current obstacles to TOD implementation in Connecticut while also evaluating the vulnerability of the Metro-North mainline and its associated TOD to sea level rise. We took a mixed-methods approach, reviewing the townsí existing TOD plans, interviewing 13 stakeholders, analyzing the street network in station areas and analyzing parcel and rail line vulnerability with CIRCAís mapping of the 1% annual exceedance probability flood with the addition of 20î of sea-level rise by 2050.
