CS-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
Is it possible to achieve this credit by choosing the first option (preferred parking) and using an automatic parking system. This system is designed for 24 cars therefore I need to offer 2 preferred parkig spaces however the car owner cannot choose where his car will be.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?
For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?
I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

The automatic parking systems we've used don't provide any "preferred" location - since the cars get moved around they don't give the driver of those two preferred spaces a shorter walk or quicker access. If that's true for your system, you could use the discounted parking part of Option 1. There needs to be some real benefit for the drivers of the fuel-efficient vehicles - usually more convenient access or lower cost.
