NC-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
At a urban bus maintainance facility there is designated parking for approximately as many buses as cars. Does SSc4.3, option 1 apply only to passenger cars and, if so, only the employees' cars or should it include company fleet cars, visitors, vendors, etc.? Thanks.

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
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?

If the spaces for buses are not available to passenger cars it seems reasonable to exclude them from the count, since these are in a way "process vehicles" that are part of the facility operations and not for getting to and from the site. So yes, option 1 would apply to passenger cars for employees, visitors, and vendors. Check under SSc4.4 to see if there's more discussion about whether fleet cars should be included in the total parking capacity count.... Since these are often used by employees to get to and from work, they are typically included.
