FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the  ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

CS-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

Case 1, Option 2. I must be

Case 1, Option 2. I must be reading/interpreting this wrong. Provide parking for less than 3% of the FTE occupants? So, if I have 100 FTE, I can only have 3 parking spaces? And then 3% of those 3 spaces (or one space) would have to be reserved for carpools? That makes such little sense that I am almost embarrassed to post this. I must be missing something.

Robert,Yes, you're reading correctly. If a project cannot accomodate those requirements,  I would suggest going with Option 1.

Robert and Emily, I understand the 3% for car/van pool vehicles applies to the total parking capacity - i.e. all available parking spaces onsite. For example, should a shopping centre have 100 employes (i.e. FTE=100) and has a 500 parking space capacity, one has to provide maximum 3 parking spaces for the employes and 15 parking spaces dedicated to car/van pool vehicles to qualify for this credit under Case 1 - option 2 scenario. Is that right?
