A firm has been hired to renovate an existing office building and wants to increase the number of points the project receives for Location and Transportation credits. What strategy might the firm recommend?
A.
Shade the large open parking area with a solar-paneled canopy
B.
Include subsidies for carpools
C.
Replace traditional paving on the parking lot with pervious surfacing
Including subsidies for carpools is a strategy that can increase the number of points the project receives for Location and Transportation credits. This is because it reduces the demand for single-occupancy vehicle trips and parking spaces, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion, and land consumption12. The project can earn up to 15 points for the Transportation Demand Management credit by providing various incentives and programs to encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as carpooling, public transit, biking, or walking12.
