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?

CS-2009 SSc4.3:Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Car-shared (zip car) parking spaces

Can car-shared (zip car) parking spaces be accepted as low-emitting /fuel efficient vehicle parking in a project as compliance to option 1? My project does provide parking in basement and is required to provide 9 low-emitting vehicles parking. We have currently 11 car-shared parking spaces. What kind of documentation is needed besides floor plan with parking designation. Thanks!

I think this approach is better suited to Option 4. Take a look at the sample forms - you will get a better understanding of what kind of documentation is required.

Thanks Ellen! One more question. Do you know if I can count the parking spaces alloted for electric vehicle charging stations as part of the LE/FE vehicle preferred (with Low Emitting on sign)? It means the parking spaces will be used for electric car charging as well as preferred parking for LE/FE vehicles.

I have a very similar situation to Kathy. Our project is required to provide electric charging stations (though not enough to completely cover our required number of spaces), and we're required to provide allocated parking spaces for Zip cars (though our CS project is not providing the service, itself, only the parking spaces). We're trying to determine the best way to include these already allocated spaces with the documentation for this credit, and figure out how to sufficiently make up any differences in remaining parking spaces with LEV spots. I tried playing in the form, but Options 3 & 4 are not available for CS projects anyway. I have thoroughly searched all rating system posts for guidance on a combined approach, but there's nothing that has any real meat to it. Any guidance here would certainly help, too.
