Answer: B

Explanation:

Offering financial incentives is a strategy that can be used to address transportation in operation and maintenance under the Location and Transportation (LT) category. The LT category addresses the location and accessibility of a project site, as well as its impacts on transportation, land use, and community connectivity. One of the credits in this category is LT Credit: Alternative Transportation – Transportation Demand Management, which rewards projects that implement programs or policies that reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and encourage alternative transportation modes, such as public transit, carpooling, biking, or walking. Offering financial incentives is one example of such a program or policy, which can provide benefits or rewards for the employees or tenants who use alternative transportation modes, such as subsidies, vouchers, discounts, prizes, recognition, or preferential parking1.
