T.2.2.AExplore opportunities to increase the affordability, strategic density, and breadth of Plymouth's housing options in parallel with efforts to expand public transit.

Transportation and housing are tightly linked: when homes are located far from daily needs, car dependence rises and emissions increase. This action explores opportunities to increase housing affordability and diversify housing options in ways that support transit expansion—often by encouraging “strategic density” near transit corridors and services. Aligning housing and transit can reduce household transportation costs, improve access to jobs and amenities, and support a more efficient, low-carbon community form. Success looks like planning and policy alignment that supports mixed housing types in appropriate locations, increased access to affordable options, and improved feasibility of expanded transit due to stronger ridership potential.
