FAQs about SSc4.4 :

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?

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”?

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

No new parking except for 3 LE/FE spaces

I'm working on a campus building where we have added only 6 new spaces (3 of which are ADA) I understand the ADA can be exempted, but since the other 3 new ones are being added to be reserved for LE/FE do you think it would be possible to be considered No New Parking? We have a lot with 120 spaces within our site boundry, but that lot serves the surronding existing bulidings (that are not being certfified). Any feedback on the best approach? Thanks!

Nena, I'm afraid I don't see the logic. Looks like you have a tradeoff between SSc4.3 and SSc4.4. Since SSc4.3 is an optional credit, I don't see how you could argue under SSc4.4 that the spaces don't count as new because "LEED made me do it."
