Multimodal Transportation District (MMTD)

The City of Destin was the first city in the entire State to adopted Multimodal Transportation District regulations. The purpose of establishing a MMTD is to encourage a mix of land uses, support transportation options, and promote pedestrian-oriented site and building design consistent with Comprehensive Plan Objective 2-1.3. All developments located in the MMTD are required to contribute to the bicycle, pedestrian and transit network in order to minimize vehicle trips and provide options for travel.
