TODs - Sustainable Design

Strategies

Intermodal Transit Centers and Transit-Orientated Design

Sustainable Design

Design that meets the needs of the

present without compromising the

ability of future generations to meet

their own needs.

What does Sustainability mean for San Bernardino?

QUESTION :

Offers a better solution.

QUESTION 2 :

So how do we get there? (What strategies do we employ?)

Intermodal Transportation Projects are Inherently Sustainable

Specific to San Bernardino
