FAQs about SSc4.4 :

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”?

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?

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

Our project is on a college campus and proposes to demolish an existing parking lot in order to construct a building addition. The project is also proposing new parking that will service both the existing building as well as the entire campus; the number of spaces exceeds what was in the existing parking lot. This new parking lot is within our defined LEED boundary. Is it possible to meet the credit requirements for option 3 of SSc4.4 (“no new parking”) if we designate parking spaces specifically for the building addition that do not exceed the number of spaces that were in the existing parking lot and designate the rest of the parking spaces for use by the general campus population?

Terry, in my opinion you could have to put those spaces not for your building outside your LEED project boundary in order to take this approach.
