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?

I'm not exactly sure where to place this question. We have a new client who may be interested in LEED for their building. They serve a rural area with a good percentage of Amish/Mennonite population. We have discussed the hitching post to be incorporated outside the building. What would be the best way/place to address this alternative form of transportation- horse and buggy - in LEED? Alternative compliance to SSc4.3?

Interesting question. My initial reaction was that I don't think this approach will work....but it does seem to meet the intent of reducting the impacts associated with automobile use. I would say try it either under SSc4.2 or 4.3 - I will be interested to see what the reviewers say. I would make sure you have a contingency plan or are not counting on those points to reach your targeted certification level though, just in case.
