Both weekday and weekend trip minimums must be met. For each qualifying transit route, only trips in one direction are counted toward the threshold.
- If service varies by day:
o For weekday trips, count the weekday with the lowest number of trips.
o For weekend trips, only count the weekend day with the highest number of trips.
-
If a qualifying transit route has multiple stops within the required walking distance, only trips from one stop are counted toward the threshold.
-
Planned stops and stations may count if they are sited, funded, and under construction by the date of the LEED project’s certificate of occupancy and are complete within 24 months of that date.

The following restrictions apply:
-
A use may be counted as only one use type (e.g., a retail store may be counted only once even if it sells products in several categories).
-
No more than two uses in each use type may be counted (e.g., if five restaurants are within walking distance, only two may be counted).
-
The counted uses must represent at least three of the five categories.
