Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

85% of Berea students are campus residents. The campus has no interior parking, and all residence halls are within walking distance to academic and support buildings. While we believe most non-resident students also live within walking distance to the campus, we have not surveyed these students and are not considering them as necessarily using non-motorized transportation. All non-resident students are considered to drive alone if they live off campus for this purposes of this reporting.
