Reducing parking capacity is an explicit LEED v5 strategy under LTc4: Transportation Demand Management. The credit seeks to reduce automobile use, vehicle miles traveled, transportation emissions, and land devoted to parking. Under Option 1, Path 1, projects can earn points by reducing parking capacity relative to established baseline parking ratios: a 30% reduction earns one point, a 60% reduction earns two points, and eliminating project parking can earn three points. Educational campaigns and transit subsidies may encourage sustainable commuting behavior, but neither is identified as a direct point-earning pathway in the current LEED v5 BD+C LTc4 requirements. For a mixed-use development, parking reduction can influence residents, employees, and visitors simultaneously while supporting transit, walking, and cycling. Therefore, Option A is the LEED-aligned answer.
