For schools intended for grades eight and below (or ages 14 and below), Option 2. Pedestrian Access

requires that at least 50% of the students live no more than a 3/4 mi. (1.20 km) walking distance

from a functional entry of a school building. This option aims to encourage schools to locate in areas

where students can walk or bike to school, reducing vehicle trips and emissions, and promoting

physical activity and health. Option 2 is available only for projects that do not meet the requirements

of Option 1. Transit-Served Location, which requires access to quality transit service within a 1/4 mi.

(400 m) walking distance for at least 50% of the students. Reference:
