Case 2, Option 1 - how many different support programs required?

I have the same question, has gotten review comments on projects for not providing enough support programs for shared infrastructure? I am working on a residential project that is providing zipcars for resident's use, is that sufficient or does it need to be combined with another strategy?

Hi Erica and Annalise, This credit is tricky because as you mention, the Reference Guide does not require a set number of strategies to address ride-share infrastructure for residential buildings. The approach that I have taken on residential projects with some small commercial space is choosing strategies that best fit the building and that are sufficient enough to meet the intent of the credit. For example, providing public transit information for the public in the commercial spaces, providing carpool drop off areas, a website with a carpool portal for residents, and providing zipcar spaces could all be used in conjunction to meet the intent of the credit. GBCI will want to see that enough infrastructure is in place that occupants not only have the option of ride-share, but are encouraged to use the ride-share options rather than drive themselves around town. In many cases, for residential, there is an existing online portal for residents that could easily incorporate transit and ride-share information. My advice is to choose 3-4 strategies that best fit the building and demonstrate how those strategies are sufficient to provide all residents with ride-share infrastructure. Hope that helps!
