Granted a maximum of 10 points, this credit category is overweight, given that an existing building has no control over its location and minimal control over transportation alternatives. The Transportation credit/points unfairly benefit urban areas with robust public transportation infrastructure. Rural areas typically do not yet have low-carbon transportation options or pervasive electric vehicle charging, which puts these points out of reach. The most transient element of a building is its occupants, so an Occupant Travel Survey has minimal longevity. As indicated, an existing building has no control over its Location-efficiency Score. As transportation is largely external to the actual subject of the rating, the building itself, this credit category should be allocated no more than 5 to 7 points in total.
