The Dublin Transit Center Parking Garage was awarded the 2024 Winner for National Parking Association – Sustainability Project of the Year.
This accolade represents one of the parking industries’ highest commendations for leadership, innovation and best practices, according to an announcement by NPA.
“The vision for this station is anchoring multi-modal connections that will get cars off our congested roadways, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase mobility for Tri-Valley residents and workers,” said representatives from the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority, one of the project funders.
The five-level facility, adjacent to the Dublin-Pleasanton BART Station, has 507 parking spaces and an 18,000 square foot ground-level for future conversion to retail spaces, according to a press release celebrating completion of the project earlier this year from constructor McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
It includes sustainability-minded features like 32 bicycle lockers, six EV charging stations and dedicated parking for 11 electric autonomous shuttles. The structure also boasts natural ventilation, energy-efficient equipment and is ready for future solar panel installations.
“Winning the NPA Innovative Sustainability Project of the Year award is an honor and it reflects our commitment to reducing the carbon footprint by using environmentally responsible construction practices,” city staff said.
Construction of the facility by the General Services Agency of Alameda County and McCarthy Building Companies began in fall 2022. Funding for the project was provided by the LAVTA and the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
