Greensboro encourages transit-oriented development along Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) and GTA bus rapid transit corridors with reduced parking, mixed-use overlays, and pedestrian-friendly frontage standards under the LDO.
PART operates regional commuter routes connecting Greensboro to High Point, Winston-Salem, the Piedmont Triad International Airport, and surrounding counties from the J. Douglas Galyon Depot. The LDO supports compact mixed-use development near transit hubs, including the depot district and high-frequency GTA corridors along West Market, High Point Road, and Battleground Avenue. Reduced parking minimums and increased height allowances apply when projects meet pedestrian frontage standards, bicycle parking, and bus shelter contributions. Comprehensive Plan future land-use maps designate transit corridors as growth priority areas under the GSO 2040 framework.
Removing required pedestrian features, blocking bus shelter access, or eliminating bicycle parking from approved transit-oriented projects can result in zoning violations, daily civil penalties, and revocation of granted parking reductions.
