For both tenant- and owner-occupied projects, it is required to charge market-rate fees for parking spaces, aligning the cost with local rates and discouraging unnecessary car use. A market rate is comparable to fees charged by nearby parking facilities (public or private), and it considers similar facility types (e.g., surface parking, structure parking, underground parking). In owner-occupied projects, this involves requiring all employees to pay market-rate fees for parking.

To comply with this option, all parking spaces included in the project’s total parking inside and outside the project boundary must be unbundled from the tenant lease or sales. This commitment must start before the end of the 12-month reporting period and extend for a minimum of three years beyond the reporting period.

Option 2. Shared Mobility Options

Shared mobility is a strategy to reduce dependence on single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs) by offering multiple transportation options that minimize car use, lower emissions, and ease congestion. Strategies for shared mobility include providing a fleet of micromobility devices, such as a fleet of bicycles or bicycle share, carshare services, and other shared mobility options such as scooters, that are accessible to all regular building occupants free of charge. This encourages a shift toward sustainable transportation alternatives for short trips, reducing the need to use a personal vehicle during the workday. Setting the devices and facilities within 0.25 miles (400 meters) from a functional entry will ensure occupants can conveniently and spontaneously choose a shared mobility option. Equation 1.

A fleet of bicycles or bicycle share A bicycle fleet is a collection of bikes owned and managed by an organization for exclusive use by its members, typically stored on-site for short trips. In contrast, a bike share program operates at multiple locations throughout a city or community, allowing users to temporarily use bikes for a period of time before returning them to a permitted location.

Carshare service Carsharing is a form of car rental designed for users who want the flexibility to rent vehicles for short periods and only pay based on their usage. It provides urban residents with an alternative to car ownership, allowing them access to cars without the commitment of owning one.
