FAQs about LTc5 :

What are the criteria for whether we are allowed to count future or planned transit stops?

Our project is located in a place without any existing or planned formal transit networks. How can we achieve this credit?

What’s the difference between a commuter rail, light rail, and heavy rail transit system? I’m having trouble figuring out how to categorize the different types of transit serving my project.

Would a university or corporate campus shuttle service count towards this credit?

Schools-NC-v4 LTc5:Access to quality transit

School buses

LEED v.3 specifically stated that school buses counted toward this credit. They've taken that language out for v.4. And interestingly, the bus route only counts in one direction. So am correct that in calculating student ridership, I am only including the trip to school and not the trip home?

Are school buses excluded entirely from Option 1?

For Option 1: we have a school project where 100% of the students bus in using the provided school buses. How can we account for this on the Active Form or do we not meet the requiremenst of the credit? TIA
