How many points can all other projects earn for Access to Quality Transit?

The Access to Quality Transit credit focuses on enhancing the accessibility of public transportation options for building occupants, which promotes sustainable transportation practices and reduces reliance on personal vehicles. In the LEED BD+C V4 standards, projects have the potential to earn up to 5 points for this credit, depending on the proximity and accessibility of transit options relative to the project site. Points are awarded based on the number and quality of transit service options available, encouraging projects to site themselves in ways that prioritize access to public transit.

This point allocation incentivizes project teams to think strategically about location and connectivity to transit, promoting higher density and more connected urban development while supporting a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation. The other options do not reflect the maximum potential for points available in this category as outlined in the LEED BD+C V4 framework.
