FAQs about SSc4.3 :

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?

Can a project pursue this credit via a combination of Option 1 (preferred parking) and Option 2 (alternative fueling stations)?

How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?

For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?

I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Our project is outside the U.S., and the LEED-approved ACEEE Green Score and CARB ratings and classifications don't apply to many vehicles. Is there another approach that is accepted?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

Schools-2009 SSc4.3:Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Option 1

I'm having a hard time understanding the "1 designated carpool drop-off area for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles" in Option 1.

I'm working on a project which only has space for one carpool drop-off lane. We're considering striping 20 feet at the end of this lane in a different color and putting up a sign stating "LEV Carpool Drop-Off" to designate it for LEV only. However I haven't been able to find an example of acceptable documentation for this.

Does anyone have an example of how to document this drop-off area?

While I don't have any examples, I can tell you how I would approach it. It'd submit a site plan showing the drop-off lane, where your stripped LEV section is, and how it flows [remembering to give the LEV space preferable treatment -- maybe closer to the entrance]. The reference guide also says something about a sticker program instituted by the the school [page 64, third paragraph in the SCHOOLS "implementation" section]. I would have the school write up a program by which parents can apply for a LEV vehicle sticker to be able to drop off/pick up in your designated space.
