What are the requirements for shuttle buses?

A bus has multiple stops within my 1/4-mile radius. Can I count each of those?

CI-2009 SSc3.1:Credit Alternative Transportation—Public Transportation Access

School Busses

I'm working on a middle school project that is being certified under LEED-CI. Does anyone know if we are allowed to use a school bus as one of the transportation options, even though the project isn't being certified under LEED for Schools? Thanks!

Lauren, I don't think so, because the buses aren't accessible by all occupants, and travel highly specific routes. I can see a case for this but I don't think it quite fits the CI credit.

I have the same situation. there is a public bus line 1/4 mile away for staff and all students have the school bus system available. will this really not count?

just so everyone knows, USGBC response- "Dear Andrew, Thank you for contacting USGBC regarding LEED-CI SSc3.1. Yes, a school tenant may consider a school bus line as one of the bus options for SSc3.1, as long as an additional public bus is accessible to FTE occupants and visitors. You can either use the "special circumstances" check box to document this or simply list the school bus as a bus line within the standard bus lines table on the form.
