EBOM-v4 LTc1:Alternative transportation

Hi,

I have question regarding the Informal Transit facility as listed under Table 4 in the reference guide. The project we are working on has company owned bus shuttle service which is not open to public, but caters to more than 90% of the employees only to commute to & fro from designated pick up & drop off locations with fixed timetable. 

Would this more of informal transit qualify to meet the requirement.

Thanks

Nandana

Hi Nandana, I'm not able to locate that table in the Reference Guide. Is this an EBOM question or an NC question? If it's NC, I recommend re-posting to that forum. Thanks!

Dear Trista, Thank you for your response. The table is available on LEED V4 EB O&M Reference guide under 'Transportation Modes'. This is an EBOM question.

Hi - thanks for clarifying. A bus shuttle service does qualify as an alternative to single-occupant vehicle travel. If you're performing a transit survey I'd recommend asking people to provide the mode of transportation they used for the farthest distance. For some that could be the shuttle, and for others it could be the form of transit that they use to get to the pick-up/drop-off location.
