LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 94

A building is located on a site without access to public transportation. Which of the following strategies can a project team implement in order to reduce the environmental impacts associated with how the occupants get to and from the building?

Answer options

• A. Limit parking
• B. Provide incentives for carpooling
• C. Build underground parking structure
• D. Use compact development strategies

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Providing incentives for carpooling encourages occupants to share rides, thereby reducing the number of vehicles on the road and lowering emissions. Limiting parking may discourage car use, but it doesn't actively promote environmentally friendly transportation options. Building an underground parking structure does not address the environmental impact and may, in fact, increase it. Compact development strategies focus on land use rather than directly addressing occupant transportation.
