I am advising an environmental education center that is in a town not served by public transportation. This is not a facility serving the general public on a walk-in basis. All programs are provided to classes of students ALL of whom arrive and depart by buses provided by their schools. There are few staff, nearly all of whom are local and walk or ride bikes to the facility. The facility is walking distance to other areas used by the Center such as a nearby dock.
In this case, will the fact that all transportation to and from the facility is by bus qualify the project for SSc4.1 Public Transportation Access?

Peter,
We have a similar project and for Option 2 you may be able to use the school buses for 1 of the required 2 bus lines - see LEED for Schools SSc4.1. You would however still need that second bus line with a stop within a 1/4 mile of the building entrance. We ended up not pursuing this credit so I cannot provide any reviewer comments.
Hope this helps.
