We are working on an Office project located 3 miles from a rail station. We have more than one bus stop located a 1/4 mile walking distance from the site, but only one bus line and a mini-bus taxi rideshare option.
Would it be possible in this case to achieve this credit if we combine options 2 and 3? I am battling to find a previous thread that discusses this combination on option 2 and 3.

I afraid your question requires some further clarification. Option 3 of NC credit SS4.1 is very specific to school projects and would be inapplicable to an office building.

Per the LEED addendum published 7/6/12, Option 3: Rideshare Proximity was added for projects outside the U.S. Would it be possible to achieve this credit if we combine this Option 3 and Option 2:Bus Stop Proximity?
Option 4: Rideshare Proximity is for schools only.

Meghan, I'm confused what you mean by combining those options. Can you be more specific about how you would combine them?

Hi Tristan,
For Option 2 the criteria is locating the project close to stop/s for 2 or more public, campus or private bus lines.
For Option 3 the criteria is locating the project close to stops/s for 2 or more existing rideshare options.
For our project we only have one public bus line and then one rideshare option. Would we then be able to achieve this credit based on the project having two public transportation access? Even though one is in option one and the other is in option two?
