A project team would like to attempt the credit Transit Facilities' and is working with the local transit agency to inventory the existing and proposed bus stops within the project boundary. Oi the five proposed bus stops, one stop will be in operation at the same time when the project completes, and two stops will be in operation in the second year alter the project's completion. The remaining two bus stops will be in operation m me third year after the project's completion. How many proposed bus stops can the project team Include in the application form to attempt the credit?
For the Green Infrastructure and Buildings Credit on Transit Facilities, only bus stops that are operational by the time of project completion can be included in the credit documentation. In this scenario, since only one of the proposed bus stops will be in operation at the time of project completion, only this stop can be included in the application form. Stops that will become operational after project completion cannot be counted toward the credit.
