Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

For schools intended for grades eight and below (or ages 14 and below), Option 2. Pedestrian Access requires that at least 50% of the students live no more than a 3/4 mi. (1.20 km) walking distance from a functional entry of a school building. This option aims to encourage schools to locate in areas where students can walk or bike to school, reducing vehicle trips and emissions, and promoting physical activity and health. Option 2 is available only for projects that do not meet the requirements of Option 1. Transit-Served Location, which requires access to quality transit service within a 1/4 mi. (400 m) walking distance for at least 50% of the students.Reference:

I feel like Option B makes the most sense since it mentions 50% within the 3/4 mile distance. That seems more compliant.

I think we practiced something similar in class, but I can't remember if it was about the percentage or the distance.
