Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
96.50
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
A student commuter survey was sent out to gather data on student modes of transport. Because Bates is a residential college, most of our students were shown to walk or ride their bicycles to class. The majority of off-campus students were shown to prefer a single-occupant mode of transport. This is unfortunate, since parking is so tightly constrained on the campus. We have been working to increase bike commuting for off-campus students during the warmer months as a way to lessen our environmental impact, and alleviate parking troubles.
