I am working on a project that has high frequency transit, over 100 dwelling units, and wants to pursue the vehicle sharing option for this credit. The credit language states "If the project has more than 100 dwelling units and/or employees and has a minimum transit service of 60 daily weekday trips and 40 daily weekend trips, provide at least one additional vehicle and parking space for every 100 dwelling units and/or employees."
However the credit form states "If the project has 60 daily weekday trips and 40 daily weekend trips, one vehicle per 200 DU/employees must be provided. Otherwise, one vehicle per 100 DU/employees must be provided, minimum 1."
When I plugged in the project's transit and dwelling unit numbers into the credit form, the credit form is using 1 Vehicle/ 200 DU. Which number should I be using?

Emily, you should use 100 DU and/or employees, not 200. Enter a note in the form's Special Circumstances section explaining that you're using 100 because of the form's limitation.
