A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:

A survey was taken by the school to determine how students, faculty, and staff commute to and from campus. The survey helped determine how the school community commutes to and from campus on a day by day basis. The survey results were statistically significant. The data that faculty, staff and students submitted was averaged to determine the percentage of each mode of transportation.
