Anyone know why you can get 3 points for 144/108 weeday/weekend trips, and 5 for 360/216, but not 4 for 252/162, or 2 points if between teh thresholds for 1 and 3?

Hi Raphael, they are just trying to set thresholds at certain levels to incentive project teams. LTc4 is structured in a similar way too for CS and CI projects. Though I do agree it is a little bit unique .

Marilyn, I posted this question elsewhere in the forum but wondering if you are aware of the "bonus point" awarded to projects who have at least two bus lines, one not accounting for more than 60% of the total daily trips. I'm confused by this approach since there is nothing in the credit form or threshold options to select this "bonus point" other than a few sentences mentioned in the reference guide. It says "Projects served by two or more transit routes such that no one route provides more than 60% of the documented levels may earn one additional point, up to the maximum number of points."
Maybe this is why there are no 2 or 4 point options, because you can get those through the bonus point? I'm looking for anyone who has documented this successfully to show how it's done since this is not clear in the form! Thank you.

Hi Leilanie, I have not documented this approach but do see that wording in the Reference Guide. If you don't see this option listed in the credit form, I would document it via the "special circumstances" and upload backup calculations to show you meet the requirements. Sorry I can't provide more direct experience with this path but perhaps someone else can weigh in.
