This represents FY2019 BU Metrics.
This year's report only represents Boston University's Charles River Campus (CRC) since TransComm is no longer serving the Medical Campus. We expect that in the future Parking and Transportation Services will be able to provide metrics of the whole campus.
DEP's bi-annual survey does not include questions about "Zero-emissions vehicle."
