Credit 4.1-: Public Transportation Access
defines the intent of SS4.1 as “reducing pollution and land development impacting from automobile use.” Implementation can be done in one of two ways: locating the project within ½ mile from a rail or subway station, or locating the project within ¼ mile of one or more stops from two public bus lines.
SS4.1 offers two ways to capture an extra credit point, also known as achieving exemplary performance. Creating a “comprehensive transportation management plan” or doubling the number of rail/subway stations/public campus lines will earn an extra credit. If the site is not close to any of the available options, some projects have contacted transit providers to offer closer bus lines.
