Ten measures are scored on a points scale to a minimum of twenty-four: reduced parking supply, car-share, pre-loaded transit fare cards, bicycle parking supply and quality, a Bike Share Toronto station area, change and shower facilities, bicycle maintenance facilities, pedestrian connections to a higher order transit station, and a supplemental measure proposed by the applicant.
