We're working on a fire station In Portland, OR on the Willamette River at which an electric vehicle (a "Mule" type vehicle), housed in the fire engine vehicle bay, will be used for aid/rescue calls as needed along the adjacent esplanade/bike trail so that the department won't have to (unless absolutely necessary) take out an engine along the streets to get to locations along the river that are difficult to access with large, gas-powered vehicles. This project also involves NO parking being added to the site.
Thoughts from anyone on pursuing a SSc4.3 credit for this scenario?

A scenario where you are providing vehicles puts you under Option 3, where you would have to provide vehicles for 3% of FTE.I'm guessing that this might not be a good fit.If you want to go further down this road I would look at Schools SSc4.3 as a better fit for what you're trying to do, and if this is attractive, propose it to GBCI as an alternative compliance path for your project on this credit.
