Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
"More sustainable" options include alternatively fueled vehicles (ethanol, electric including hybrid), motorcycle or scooter, formal telecommuting (avoiding trips to campus), walking, biking, public transportation (bus, metro, train, AU shuttle), and carpool. The non-required fields above do not equal the total sustainable commuting % because we also consider formal telecommuting (0.12%) and alternatively-fueled vehicle trips (1.94%) as more sustainable.
