LEED’s transportation ethos is demand management first, technology second. Oversupplying and subsidizing parking—even with EVSE—induces trips and undermines reduced-parking strategies. A balanced approach keeps supply lean, separates parking cost from rent (unbundling), and sets fair pricing to reflect true storage cost. Install a reasonable number of EV charging stations where utilization will be high and provision additional conduit/capacity for expansion as adoption rises. Pairing this with car-share and carpool priority stalls raises occupancy per trip and can lower car ownership. Valet-only setups restrict access and create operational friction. Building bigger garages locks in emissions and heat-island impacts for decades. The B package complements bicycle facilities and transit access, cuts VMT, and still enables a pragmatic transition to cleaner vehicles—all with clear policies and easy-to-document signage, maps, and photographs for LEED submission.
