FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

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

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

I was wondering whether LEED would ask for a official document that states that local authority authorizes the project not to meet the local requirement of minimum parking. or... Would that be unnecessary concerning LEED documentation? Any thoughts or experience?

Johanna, it sounds like you are meeting the requirement (as modified by the local authority), which is what LEED asks you to do. I would only document the credit according to what LEED Online asks for, and not worry about additional documentation.
