I am trying to gather documentation for a college campus in Prince George that has leased out it's car parks to Impark, an agency that manages the lots and charges people for parking.
Impark refuse to provide discounted parking (this would affect their revenue stream) for carpool users.
I'm unsure where things now stand with regards the LEED site area but assuming the car park is still deemed to be inside of this; despite being leased out to another agency, how can we achieve SSc4.4? The college is signing up to RideShare, the hugely popular car pooling network and it is anticipated it will have great success in this community given the high volume of cars and single occupant trips.
Any advice or previous experience with parking authorities would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Juan-
Regarding carpools, I'd recommend shifting the focus to merely providing preferred parking for those vehicles. Preference for carpool users can be discounted parking or preferred spaces. I'd venture to guess that the parking agency will be more amendable to setting aside the spaces closest to a main entrance (exclusive of those set aside for disabled persons).
