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?

My project is a office/hotell project. In the project scope there will be no new parking provided but for some time ago there was a multi-storey car park buildt nearby which will provide our project with parking spaces. What is the best way to achive this point, can the project just say that no new parking will be provided (that´s true though)? That doesn't seams right because the project will have a bunch of parking spaces in the multi-storey car park, that is already buildt. Thanks!

I think you can ear this credit since no new parking is technically being provided. If you feel guilty about that you could choose not to pursue the credit, or you could implement other measures to reduce transportation impacts.
