FAQs about LTc3 :

What are the criteria for whether we are allowed to count future or planned transit stops?

Our project is located in a place without any existing or planned formal transit networks. How can we achieve this credit?

What’s the difference between a commuter rail, light rail, and heavy rail transit system? I’m having trouble figuring out how to categorize the different types of transit serving my project.

Would a university or corporate campus shuttle service count towards this credit?

CI-v4 LTc3:Access to quality transit

Weekday met, but no weekend service. Partial points?

The bus service near our project clearly meets the weekday requirements, but there is no bus service on the weekends in Salem, OR. Is it possible to earn partial points for weekday trips only, or does this exclude us from all possible points?

In GBES' Study guide for ID+C Exam, they say that if an office does not have weekend hours that this can be discussed with the LEED Reviewer.  I believe the concept is if the office is not open, then why would service need to be provided for employees or visitors?  I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with this.

I contacted LEED Coach and asked for some guidance regarding projects that are only occupied on the weekend, and the possibility of still earning this credit with no/little weekend services. Here is their response, for reference:   For LEED v4, the intent of this credit is to encourage development in locations well served by transit, and the definition of quality transit developed for the rating system includes weekend transit. Exceptions to the weekend service requirement are generally not available to NC or CI projects. However, if your team feels that the intent of the credit can be met with project-specific circumstances, the alternative compliance path would need to demonstrate how the intent is met. Additionally, since the weekend requirements cannot be met, the team would need to demonstrate that the building is intended to have zero weekend occupancy (including custodial / maintenance / security staff). For example, a secure facility that is not accessible outside weekday opening hours might be granted an exception. If submitting a CIR, your team should provide a narrative describing the anticipated occupancy and any restrictions on weekend access. Hope that helps!
