SS Credit 4.3: Alternative Transportation: Low Emitting &
Fuel Efficient Vehicles
1 Point
Intent
Reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use.
Requirements
OPTION 1
Provide low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles for 3% of Full-Time
Equivalent (FTE) occupants AND provide
preferred parking for these vehicles.
OR
OPTION 2
Provide preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient
vehicles for 5% of the total vehicle parking capacity
of the site.
OR
OPTION 3
Install alternative-fuel refueling stations for 3% of the total
vehicle parking capacity of the site (liquid or gaseous
fueling facilities must be separately ventilated or located
outdoors).
For the purposes of this credit, low-emitting and fuel-efficient
vehicles are defined as vehicles that are either classified
as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) by the California Air Resources
Board or have achieved a minimum green score of
40 on the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE)
annual vehicle rating guide.
“Preferred parking” refers to the parking spots that are closest to
the main entrance of the project (exclusive of spaces
designated for handicapped) or parking passes provided at a
discounted price.

Provide transportation amenities such as alternative fuel refueling
stations. Consider sharing the costs and benefits
of refueling stations with neighbors.
