SSc4.3 credit: Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles, The project is located on a large campus, do the preferred FE/LE parking spaces need to be located within the LEED project boundary? And if the preferred parking spaces CAN be located outside the LEED boundary, how does that affect the other credits that involve the LEED boundary area, site hardscape area, light pollution, etc? - For example, SSc7.1 for site hardscape, will the preferred parking area, located outside the LEED boundary, be included in the site hardscape area?

As you say, you are allowed to locate preferred parking outside the LEED boundary. The area outside the LEED boundary is not included in calcs for SSc7.1.

Hi Shad, Yes, you can use parking outside your boundary but there are requirements to be aware of when documenting this path. See interpretations 10202 and 2516 for more information. Also reference the language in MPR3 about including parking outside the boundary. As Helen said, all other credits, like SSc7.1 and SSc8, would only be based on your LEED boundary.
