We currently have a Federal client who does not believe that the Federal government is able to provide preferred parking for efficient vehicles. The reasoning has to do with equity and not providing conveniences that may only be available to some employees - those who own newer or more efficient cars. Has anyone else heard this? Can you provide a reference? We want to gather enough information to help the client make an informed decision.

I have recently experienced this same reasoning when dealing with the Federal Government, in my case the GSA/Border Patrol Agencies. It could vary from agency to agency however.

I have worked on several Federal Building projects including Federal office buildings and courthouses with the GSA and the US Courts. Each of those projects were able to pursue credits SSc4.3 and SSc4.4 as well as an Innovation and Design credit for Alternative Transportation Education and Ride Share programs. It must vary from agency to agency.

I had a similar comment for a government project but once I sent them a copy of the greenercars.org list of acceptable ACEEE 40+ cars, they were OK with pursuing the credits.
