Hi all,
We are working on a project situated in the Czech Republic, Prague.
Is it possible to go for Option 2 and use Prague Planning Office as a metropolitan planning organization? Furthermore it would be quite difficult to find VMT for Prague environment.
Thank you for any suggestions.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Since the primary metric for Option 2 is low VMT, not having reliable VMT data would make use of Option 2 problematic in this case. Option 2 is offered to encourage projects to locate in areas that are already experiencing higher than average rates of non-auto use (and by extension likely have more-developed pedestrian, bicycle and/or transit infrastructure).
The metric is essentially calibrated for North American conditions and may be difficult to quickly translate to European conditions. Option 1 would be a better choice since the transit service metric is the same in or outside the US.
