Access Opportunities
During the site selection process, preference should be given to locations with multiple access opportunities. Preference should be given to a site located within ¼ mile of public transportation, restaurants, retail or other service facilities. Locations with a potential for shared parking lots and other transportation oriented infrastructure should also be shown preference.

Opportunity can also be found with the existence or potential for safe bicycle pathways that facilitate access to the site. The potential for pedestrian circulation within the development should also be factored in to site selection analysis. As always, the requirements of the end user should be considered with regard to these sustainable goals. The transportation needs of a future commissary will be vastly different from an administrative campus.
