    Surface parking will decrease 90% from 9,800 to 1,200...by putting most of the building’s parking underground.
    Hiding the cars isn't quite so green as doing away with the need for them. And it looks like Apples private fleet of bio-diesel buses is about the only transit option:

    There is no commuter rail or light rail service in the city. Caltrain commuter rail runs through the cities to the north and east, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA)'s Mountain View - Winchester light rail line runs to Campbell, California to the south. Bus service is also provided by VTA, and the prospect of twenty-four hour bus service on Stevens Creek Boulevard is being studied. Though this corridor (line 23) is one of VTA's most heavily used routes, there is no express or limited-stop service that takes commuters into San Jose, and the quality of service is therefore considered to be relatively poor.

    just to be clear, i wasn't defending jobs, just linking to the deets that are noticeably absent from the phrase 'associated parking.'
