NC-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
We are installing alternative-fuel refueling stations, with preferred parking. We are also creating preferred parking for carpools.
An announcement has been made company-wide that these spots are available and must be reserved. If no one reserves them, must they remain empty to comply?

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?
For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?
I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Sandi, I don't think the reservation policy is really in the spirit of the LEED credit. Making people jump through that hoop to have a parking space that is already supposedly designated for them doesn't seem necessary. Also, do you have the signage? This should communicate clearly whom the spaces are for.Ultimately if you don't have any takers, will other people figure out that these spaces are empty and use them? Probably. If this happens, it will have transitioned to a facilities maintenance question, which is in the scope of LEED-EBOM or the LEED Dynamic Plaque, should you use one of those tools, and not your LEED-NC certification.
