FAQs about SSc4.3 :

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?

Can a project pursue this credit via a combination of Option 1 (preferred parking) and Option 2 (alternative fueling stations)?

How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?

For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?

I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Our project is outside the U.S., and the LEED-approved ACEEE Green Score and CARB ratings and classifications don't apply to many vehicles. Is there another approach that is accepted?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

Is there an Innovation Opportunity?

Hello! I am working on a project that already includes all of the required spaces for this credit under Option 1. The building owner now wants to install solar canopies over some of the parking. These canopies would have charging stations installed. Is there an innovation opportunity if the project goes "Beyond LEED" and looks to comply with BOTH options 1 and 2?

I have a few projects that have chosen to do both. While I have not tried to submit this for an innovation and cannot say for sure, I have always assumed it is an either/or scenario. The guidelines indicate that the only way to get an exemplary performance point for this credit is to implement a "comprehensive transportation management plan that demonstrates a quantifiable reduction in personal automobile use."

It seems not , but doing so will have many credits synergies, for example SSc7.1 or EAc2 and why not use those surfaces to collect rainwater ?

Thanks Ellen - The comprehensive transportation plan may be an option, however, can we submit for the ID credit if SSc4.4 is not an option for the project? Sylvian - Thanks also for your reply. SSc7.2 is already being pursued, as well as additional efficiencies under EAc1 and also EAc2.

The EP for the comprehensive transportation credit can be submitted under any of the SSc4 Alternative Transportation credits.
