Can a school bus line count as our additional transportation line? In construction right now is a school, in which we are building a public library directly to the east of it (no roads dividing these two properties). We have established an entrance next to the school bus lines, knowing that many of the children will be taking trips to the library and engaging in the library's programs. In LEED for schools, this is able to count as one of the lines, but what about LEED-NC?

Krysta,
It may be possible to use school buses as a second bus line however you would need to prove that the buses bring a significant amount of your occupants on a regular basis. I don't feel bringing students maybe once a week or several times a month would do it. You would need to submit a CIR with your calculations to be sure.
