Would a subway station seeking LEED certification be likely to receive Exemplary Performance for SSc4.1 by submitting a Comprehensive Transportation Management Plan? The purpose of a metro is to reduce personal automobile use after all.

Evan—A major urban transit authority should have the resources and clout to put together a comprehensive Transportation Management Plan (TMP) that “demonstrates a quantifiable reduction in personal automobile use through the implementation of multiple alternative options.” Ideally, the TMP should incentivize various modes of alternative transportation (busses, bikes, carpools, etc.).
Unfortunately, the BD+C Reference Guide says little about TMPs, but there have been a number of LEED Interpretations that offer examples of strategies. See LIs #532, 5415, 1444, 1590, 2110, 5136, 2371, & 5216 on the USGBC Addenda Database (http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=532). Just beware that these are old Interpretations. The “Innovation” threshold may have risen.
Also, for LEEDusers members, the “Resources” tab above offers some TMP examples and tools.
