FAQs about LTc1:
Do motorcycles qualify as an alternative means of transportation? What about scooters?
Does the survey need to adhere to SCAQMD Rule 2202 procedures, like in LEED 2009?
What if we already participate in a local transportation survey? Can we use those results?
Do we have to collect home zip code data in our survey?
My building has fewer than 100 occupants. What should my sample size be?

Hi Zakir, the response rate will impact the extrapolation factor. The higher your response rate, the more you can extrapolate the raw rate of alternative transportation to non-respondents. This will typically help your overall performance because you'll get some level of additional credit for alternative transit, rather than having to count all non-respondents as single occupant commuters. There's a table in the Reference Guide that shows response rates and the corresponding extrapolation factor. The USGBC calculator for this credit will automatically complete the extrapolation for you.
