We are working on LEED CI project and participating in this pilot credit, which we given the city centre location that we are in would be easily achieved. I wondered what evidecne would be required to show distance and trips if this was a real credit - we have used Google Maps to calcualte walking distances, but the bus stops are not marked in exactly the right places on there so distances are a inaccurate.

The information required for Option 1 of the Pilot Credit is the same as for Sustainable Sites Credit 4.1 in the LEED NC rating systems. The Documentation Toolkit page for LEED NC v2.2 SSc4.1 at http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-v2.2/SSc4.1#doc-tab contains example maps, example tabular listings of transit lines and frequencies, and a sample of the online submittal form. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the information about stop locations and to calculate the walk distances to the project. If you elect to use a Google Transit map as a base, you will need to verify the stop locations and walk distances that you include in the submittal. The Resources page for SSc4.1 offers some alternatives to Google Transit that you might find helpful.
