What are activity centers/nodes, and why are they a project category?
Activity centers, or nodes, are places of significant activity and diversity — where people gather, interact, live, work and shop. They are the types of places we plan for and desire because of their greater density, opportunity and vitality. Activity centers/nodes are included as an eligible project category to better connect transportation and land-use planning. Including this project category will support ongoing efforts by many local jurisdictions to reinvest and redevelop areas identified in their planning processes.
