NC-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
We have a project with no on-site parking and come up with "No New Parking" for SSc4.4. The owner plans another building with parking spaces that will serve both the project building and the future building. Could it qualify for SSc4.3 if designation of preferred parking spaces is based on/from FUTURE Off-site Parking Spaces?

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
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?

It is possible to achieve this credit as well as the no new parking option for SSc4.4, but you will need to be careful. If you read the FAQ section of 4.4, it references a LEED Interpretation (2120) that "if there will be any additional parking built as a result of the construction of the project, even if this parking is off site, then the no new parking option cannot be used." So if you are citing the future parking as counting towards SSc4.3, you will need a good explanation as to why it is exempt from SSc4.4.
