Option 1 -

Option 1 of the credit allows for most forms of transit to be counted towards the credit requirements. The distance requirements allow for a wider radius of influence for the higher capacity forms of transit (Bus Rapid Transit, Light, Heavy or Commuter Rail and Ferries) than for the lower capacity forms (basic Bus and Streetcar). It is not required that all qualifying service within the applicable influence areas be counted, but all can be. Be sure that the 3 bus stops are a part of that route with service in the opposite direction of any of those 70-80 bus stops. (“Trips are counted only if they are a part of a route with service in the opposite direction.” ) The overall utility of transit is reduced when the location of the transit stop for one direction of service is outside the appropriate influence area (i.e. the ¼ and ½ mile walking distance). The credit addresses this issue by only allowing transit service that has stops in both directions on a route within the appropriate influence area to be counted. If I understand your example correctly, only the route that has 3 stops would count since that is the only service that meets the requirement for service in both directions within the influence area. Under LEED CI, only 1 point may be awarded for using this Pilot Credit program regardless of the degree to which each credit is satisfied. However, you are encouraged to document to the highest threshold possible to ensure that we've selected the appropriate thresholds and that it is reasonably simple for project teams to document credit compliance to the various thresholds provided in the credit. Please note, a project cannot achieve additional Innovation in Design or Exemplary Performance points for credits attempted through the Pilot Credit library.
