Hello everyone,
I see in earlier posts that it is unclear if motorbike, scooters & motorcycles parking counts towards this credit's total or not. We have a project where we are considering adding an area to park 125 motorbikes above and beyond the minimum parking for cars. Anyone have recent feedback on situations like this?

We've been doing this for years with projects in Vietnam since the population overwhelmingly rides scooters. We believe that in the spirit of the LEED credit we should comply with the scooters too, so we add plugs for electric scooters, though shared parking is a bit strange. When we have explicitly included the scooter parking in the submittal, the reviewer has asked us each time to re-submit only including car parking. So I compromise now: I submit the car parking documentation but note in the narrative what we've done in addition for the scooters! And by carrying it out in any case, should GBCI change their mind about this we'll be prepared.
