Renee, on a Schools project you don't have to account for transients to earn this credit. (See the credit language tab above.)

I see what you are saying about the credit language, but then in the LEED reference guide calculations for schools (step 1d) it lists peak transients. I would definitely prefer to NOT count them, because we get "nicer" number of required bike racks (12 vs 13).

Interesting—it's also requested in the LEED Online form. I guess they do want a number, which does make sense.If the number of visitor parking spots is reflective of peak transients, then I would go with it. Consider whether folks arrive by other means, or with more than one person in the car.
