NC-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

Residential - SSc 4.4 Requirements

For a residential project not exceeding local zoning requirements for parking capacity, which of the following strategy needs to be implemented to successfully earn SSc 4.4 (1) Provide a carpool rider board easily found and viewable by residents; (2) provide a clearly marked drop-off area that allows 30 min. parking for at least one vehicle (3) Provide Zipcars for 5% of occupants with a contract for at least 2 years, and a preferred parking is also provided for the Zipcars. Do we need to facilitate all (1), (2) and (3) requirements together, or by complying with only (1) and (2), we will meet the intent of the credit? Please advice.

Jason, unde this option, you are asked to provide "carpool drop-off areas, designated parking for vanpools, car-share services, ride boards and shuttle services to mass transit." You don't have to provide zipcars, etc.

Tristan, you asked to provide "car-share service"; however you also mentioned that "you don't have to provide zip-cars, etc." I don't think you understood my question ! What I am asking is "How many different-different support programs are required for "mixed Use (< 10% Commercial) project ?

This isn't well defined and there isn't a minimum number of strategies required. A multifaceted approach that includes 3-4 of the noted components for residential projects should suffice.
