1、Designation: E2844 151Standard Specification forDemonstrating That a Buildings Location Provides Accessto Public Transit1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2844; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEKeywords in Section 7 were corrected editorially in September 2015.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides requireme

3、nts for demon-strating that a buildings location provides a minimal level ofaccess to public transit such that building occupants can rely onpublic transit to travel to places of employment and to runtypical errands.1.2 This specification addresses a single indicator regardingthe environmental perfo

4、rmance related to a buildings location.It provides one option for evaluating whether a building islocated in such a way as to minimize the impacts associatedwith occupants travel.NOTE 1The indicator in and of itself is insufficient to imply any levelof “sustainability” for the building or the neighb

5、orhood. Similarly, abuildings failure to meet this specification does not necessarily signify alack of sustainability. Other indicators may be more appropriate for thatbuilding or region; those indicators are outside the scope of this specifi-cation.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to b

6、e regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of th

7、e user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Use of this specification will facilitate the decision-making process for selection of a building site that providesopportunities for occupants to use public transit.4.2 Locating a building near public transit provides accessto transportation or transportation alternat

17、ives to the users ofthe building and, thus, has the potential to reduce vehicle milestraveled and the pollution attributable to automobile travel.4.3 The users of this specification include developers,planners, building owners, engineers, architects, landscapearchitects, and other design professiona

18、ls, contractors, realtors,governmental agencies, developers of building codes andrating systems, and other building industry professionals.5. Requirements5.1 Public Transit Identification and CategorizationPublic transit access locations near the building site shall beidentified and categorized as e

19、ither local transit or rapid transit.Public transit eligible for consideration under this specificationincludes existing service and planned service to which neces-sary funding and other resources have been dedicated to ensurethat the service is fully operational within one year of thebuildings occu

20、pancy certification date.5.2 Public Transit Access Location ProximityThe buildingshall be served by a minimum of one public transit accesslocation that meets the criteria described in 5.2.1, 5.2.2,orboth. The walk distance between a primary building entranceand a public transit access location shall

21、 be as measured overa continuous network of all-weather surfaced walkways anddedicated public rights of way. If a public transit route has aninbound or an outbound access location that is located outsidethe proximity criteria of 5.2.1 or 5.2.2, the average of theinbound and outbound access locations

22、 shall meet 5.2.1 or5.2.2 to qualify.5.2.1 A local transit access location is within mile(400 m) of a primary building entrance.5.2.2 A rapid transit access location is within mile(800 m) of a primary building entrance.5.3 Public Transit Access:5.3.1 The building shall be served by public transit op

23、era-tions of:5.3.1.1 No longer than 15-min headways during peak hoursand 30-min headways during off peak hours operating at aminimum of 14 h each weekday, and5.3.1.2 No longer than hourly headways operating at aminimum of 14 h on at least one day each weekend.5.3.2 Service for any given public trans

24、it route shall only beconsidered if its access location satisfies 5.2.1 or 5.2.2.5.3.2.1 ExceptionBuildings served only by passenger railor ferry service shall be served by a minimum of 24 trips perweekday and six trips for at least one day each weekend. Tripsin opposite directions shall be counted
