NC-2009 SSc4.1:Alternative Transportation—Public Transportation Access

EP for Subway Stations

Hi there! Our project is located within 1/2 mile walking distance of a subway station that serves multiple lines. The Credit Language uses the term "station", however the EP languages uses the term "line". Does my project qualify for EP if it is within 1/2 mile of one subway station serving multiple lines with >200 transit rides per day? Thank you!

Hi Kerrie, I think the intent is that it's a large stop for the transit system, ie people can get to many places by using it, therefore, making it more attractive to project occupants and likely to be utilized more than SOV. I would recommend clearly demonstrating the distance from your project, total rides per day, and the multiple lines serving this point. Without knowing your particular locations and project specifics, if you can clearly show compliance with each of those I would imagine you are in good shape. Again, the key is to demonstrate this is a useful transportation location for project occupants resulting in reduced pollution impacts from automobiles so I'd focus on multiple lines serviced.
