Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To meet the Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit for Transit Facilities, it is required to display transit schedules and route information at each public transit stop. This requirement ensures that transit users have access to up-to-date and accurate information, making public transportation more accessible and user-friendly, which supports increased transit use and reduces reliance on private vehicles. The other options, such as providing park and ride lots or intersection connectivity, while beneficial, do not directly address the requirements of this specific credit.

Gotta say, option B is a bit overkill. A park and ride within 150 feet of the shelter? That's like having a drive-thru at a drive-thru.

Haha, I'd be happy with any of these options as long as they get me to my destination on time. As long as the buses run, I'm good!

I believe option B is also necessary, having a park and ride parking lot close to the transit shelter.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Option D also seems like a valid answer to me. Confirming that weather-protected shelters will be added is important for the community.

I think option C is the correct answer. Providing transit schedules and route information at each stop is a key requirement for the Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit.
