The train station is just about 1mile from the projectHello I have a project in California with multiple shuttles that run short routes in the area of this NC building. Office Admin large multi story project. There are several bus routes within 200 feet of the entrance and several express shuttles that basically loop the offices in the area and back to the train station with Metro Rail and Amtrak rail services. Some of the shuttles are actually branded as Metro / Rail Link shuttles. The train station is just about one mile on foot from the project. The station is within 1/2 radius of the project. Do the shuttle which transfer directly to the rail commuter and metro rail lines count as Rapid Transit and can they add the rail services to the Quality Public Transportation count?

Hi Lou,
I am trying to follow what you are saying in your post, but I think I got the gist. The train station, if its further than 1/2 mile, it cannot be included to earn any points. You mention it's one mile away, and then also state it's within the 1/2 mile boundary, which doesn't really make sense. But rule of thumb, if it is more than 1/2 mile, exclude it.
The bus stops within 1/4 mile of the site will qualify as long as they have routes serving in both directions from that stop. Additionally you should be able to include the rideshare shuttle to and from the trainstation, but NOT the rides from the train itself.
I hope this helps!
