Hi Courtney!
I was just granted two projects to use the table from LEED v4 that can be found at: http://www.usgbc.org/node/2613971?view=guide Look under “Further explanation” and “Base ratios”. You might need a USGBC log-in to get there. And the table is very “fuzzy” (bad copy) and hard to read, but after a while I figured it out by comparing with the formulas in SI-units. There seems to be no official text on this, but it was ok in my case anyways. And remember to be 25 % below these numbers.
Good luck!

thanks for quick reply, Maria!
I am having a little trouble following your instructions. When i follow your link, which tab do i then click? If i click on "resources" it brings me to Alternative Transportation Commuting Resource Information website, although the link seems to not be working. Would it be possible for you to provide instructions of where "further explanation" and "base ratios" might be? I imagine its within a report, but i can't seem to access the report.
thanks so much for your help!

No, don’t click resources, the link should send you to the tab called guide (if you have a log in). And under “Guide” you find “Further explanation” with a plus-sign after it in the left column. Under there you have “Base ratios”.

All you need is a USGBC account, not the guide. Isn't that free I thought?

so i have a (national) usgbc account, but when i follow the link and click the "guide" tab, the only text written there is about the web based reference guide to "subscribe now." there is nothing else available for me to click "further explanation" or "base ratios."

Courtney, I just accessed the information, with my (free) USGBC personal account login. Did you finally manage to access it?
Maria - thanks SO much.

Hi Deborah,
I wasn't able to access it, but i think i just got confused and possibly wasn't looking in the right location. In any case, somehow I was able to find the page i needed doing a google search. Its the same report so assuming I did all my calculations correct, the credit should be achieved. I will be submitting for review in next week or so. First time pursuing the credit using this report.

Good to hear. We achieved this credit a couple of years back, utilizing scans of the relevant pages, provided by a friendly and helpful traffic engineer.

Good luck!
