FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the  ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

CS-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

Feel like being penalized by not providing carpark on site

There are quite some LEED credits relate to carpark provisions within project building. Obvious those are SSc 4.3, SSc 4.4 and SSc 7.1. My idea is that no provision of carpark facilities is good for environment as this will somehow encourages use of public transport. But I feel like one of my project is being penalized by not providing carpark to gain points from SSc4.3 (providing preferred parkings) and SSc 7.1 (covered carpark). I would be disappointed if it is the case. Any comments or sharing ?

William, each of the credits you reference has options for treating non-parking hardscape, for providing no new parking, etc.In fact, not providing parking can be the best and easiest way to earn these credits, and is common.
