Transit-Oriented Areas (TOAs) in British Columbia

The Province of British Columbia has made changes to the Local Government Act and Vancouver Charter to establish Transit-Oriented Areas (TOAs) around current and future transit stations.
Transit Oriented Areas (TOAs) are established near specific SkyTrain and bus transit stations to facilitate the objectives of altering transportation modes and forming comprehensive communities.
These areas encompass a 200, 400 and 800 metre radii around transit stations. Development height and density potential for your property is determined by the distance to the nearest transit station in these 3 tiers.
Steven Law specializes in Transit-Oriented Areas in the Fraser Valley, from Richmond to Chilliwack.
FAQs
Transit-Oriented Areas (TOAs) are defined as a community near a transit station that offers a range of housing options, amenities, and job opportunities. A type of urban development that maximizes the amount of residential, business and leisure space within walking distance of public transport. This helps protect the environment by reducing energy use and pollution from fewer car journeys.
Property Distance Density Height:
TOAs include a radius of either 200m, 400m, or 800m around the transit station, which is equivalent to a 3 to 10-minute walk on average.
Each prescribed area is broken into Tiers:
- Tiers 1 through 3 surrounding SkyTrain stations
- Tiers 4 and 5 surrounding bus exchanges or the Westcoast Express


The province created the Minimum Allowable Density Framework (MD Framework), which local governments must allow in determining the minimum densities in Transit Oriented Areas.
The framework relies on to metrics:
- Density measured by Floor Space Ratio (FSR)
- Building height in Stories
Any increase in allowable density above the prescribed densities will be authorized by the local government.
Density is dependant upon your property’s distance from the nearest SkyTrain station or bus exchange.
