This session will discuss the elements that make up a comprehensive multimodal transit system and how to integrate sustainable transit into a LEED project. To begin, Carrie Havey will take an in-depth look at the LEED v4 Location and Transportation (LT) credits. She will start with an overview of this new credit category and then take a closer look at some of the credits and how to achieve them. Discussion will include: credit options, cost implications, and tips for documenting credits. In the second half of this session, Alyson Fletcher will discuss designing communities that balance the needs of those who walk, bike, take transit and drive. Concepts such as complete streets, sustainable parking policies and best practices, downtown and regional mobility, transit-oriented development, and transportation demand management will be discussed.
