Preferred parking is a strategy by LEED to reduce automobile use.

Preferred parking spaces are parking spaces that are closest to the main entrance of a project, but they do not include handicapped parking. Other forms of preferred parking include discounted parking passes, designated covered spaces, and guaranteed passes in a lottery system.

While \'Parking spots closest to the main entrance or under cover to the entrance\' may sound right it is not the correct formal definition for LEED. A 10 story underground parking garage can be undercover to the main entrance but that doesn\'t mean every one of those spots is close to the main entrance. For example some of those underground spots may be 100 yards from the nearest doorway/entrance, which would not make them a \'preferred\' spot.

When taking the LEED exam, it is the LEED definition that matters rather than personal preference or personal experience. Many people make the mistake of arguing about LEED definitions or how in their particular job they do it differently. The exams test on LEED, not on personal preferences or opinion. Remember that and you will test better.

C and D are not the correct definition.
