The project would like to look into Case 1 option 1. The tenant included carparking spaces into the lease. However, all the parking will be occupied by company vehicles which will only travel the management by company drivers. If the no. of parking space could meet the zoning requirement and the parking spaces could be located in a good location as priority parking. Could it counted as carpools / vanpools as there is a minimum of 2 person in the car at a time (management + driver)? Thanks!

I don't think a car with a dedicated driver would count as a carpool if there is just the one manager as the passenger. The intent of the credit is to reduce the number of cars used to transport workers to and from the office, but in your situation it doesn't sound like that will necessarily happen. A carpool allows multiple employees to share a car instead of having one car per office worker, so if a company vehicle and it's driver regularly bring more than one manager to work or back home it might count as a carpool, but if each car is assigned to a single manager it doesn't sound like that would qualify as a carpool.
