As discussed briefly above: even though the credit language states bicycle racks are to be calculated for only student and staff, LEED online form includes transient numbers in its calculations. This would have been ok, except for the elementary school that we are working on, the peak transients are 1000 for events that they have occasionally. Our numbers lead to a total bike parking requirement of 68 bikes. Isn't this a lot for an elementary school. Are we missing something? Thanks!!

I don't think that 68 bikes sounds like a lot for a school that can accommodate 1,000 people for events.But, since the credit language doesn't require racks for transients, I believe the LEED Online form is an error and you should update your form if it is an older version, or if you don't want to provide that many racks, include a narrative about the situation.
