Intent
To promote multimodal transportation choices and reduce single-occupancy vehicles and associated emissions.
Requirements
Communicate the low-carbon transportation options to all project occupants, including information for the local transportation options and any supportive measures that are available to occupants.
Option 1. Unbundled Parking (1 point)
Implement a daily, monthly, or annual parking fee at a cost equal to or greater than the local market rate for parking for tenant and owner-occupied projects.
For tenant-occupied projects, sell the spaces separately from the rental or purchase fees for the life of the project so that tenants have the option of renting or buying parking spaces at an additional cost.
OR
Option 2. Shared Mobility Options (1 point)
Host or provide complimentary access to one of the following shared mobility services on-site or within a walking distance of 0.25 miles (400 meters) of a functional entrance for a minimum of 2% of regular building occupants:
- A fleet of bicycles or bicycle share
- A carshare service
- Other shared mobility options
OR
Option 3. Bicycle Network and Storage (1 point)
BICYCLE NETWORK
Provide a functional entry and/or bicycle storage within a 600 foot (180 meter) walking distance or cycling distance of a bicycle network that meets the following criteria:
- Is a contiguous network that spans a distance of at least 3 miles (4,800 meters)
- Consists of bicycle paths, lanes, or multiuse trails that are at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) wide for a two-way path and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide for a one-way path, or streets with a maximum speed limit of 25 mph (40 kph). Sidewalks where local code permits bicycles are acceptable
Planned bicycle trails or lanes may be counted if they are fully funded by the end of the 12-month reporting period and are scheduled for completion within three years of that date.
Schools
- Provide dedicated bicycle lanes, or sidewalks where local code permits bicycles, that extend from the student bike-parking location to at least the end of the school property without any barriers (e.g., fences on school property).
AND
BICYCLE STORAGE
Provide short-term bicycle storage within a 600 foot (180 meter) walking distance to any main entrance but no fewer than four storage spaces per building.
Provide long-term bicycle storage within a 300 foot (90 meter) walking distance from any functional entry but no fewer than four storage spaces per building, in addition to the short-term bicycle storage spaces.
Points are awarded according to Table 1.
Shared micromobility storage, bicycle sharing stations, and/or publicly available bicycle parking may be counted for up to 50% of the required short-term and long-term storage space if it meets the maximum allowable walking distance and is not double counted (i.e., the short-term and the long-term storage spaces are counted separately). The storage location is communicated to the building occupants and visitors.
Table 1. Number of Spaces Required for Short- and Long-Term Bicycle Storage
| Commercial, Institutional, Schools, Health Care | Residential | Mixed-Use | Retail |
Short-term storage | At least 2.5% of all peak visitors but no fewer than four spaces per building | Meet the storage requirements for the nonresidential and residential portions of the project separately | At least two short-term bicycle storage spaces for every 5,000 sq. ft. (465 sq. m.) but no fewer than two storage spaces per building | |
Long-term storage | At least 5% of all regular building occupants but no fewer than four storage spaces per building, in addition to short-term storage spaces | At least 15% of all regular building occupants but no less than one storage space per three dwelling units in addition to short-term storage spaces | At least 5% of regular building occupants but no fewer than two storage spaces per building, in addition to the short-term bicycle storage spaces | |
NOTE: School projects can exclude students in third grade and younger from the regular building occupant count for long-term storage.
Healthcare projects can exclude patients from the regular building occupant count for long-term storage.
What does it cost?
Cost estimates for this credit
On each BD+C v4 credit, LEEDuser offers the wisdom of a team of architects, engineers, cost estimators, and LEED experts with hundreds of LEED projects between then. They analyzed the sustainable design strategies associated with each LEED credit, but also to assign actual costs to those strategies.
Our tab contains overall cost guidance, notes on what “soft costs” to expect, and a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of what to consider and what it might cost, in percentage premiums, actual costs, or both.
This information is also available in a full PDF download in The Cost of LEED v4 report.
