- Total, excluding those who drove alone, got dropped off, drove a mootorcycle, or commuted via other means: 82.3%.
Another IRB-approved survey led by four engineering capstone students in April 2024 surveyed 1,190 students and found a higher number of students commuting in a sustainable way: 84.2%. The lower, earlier percentage is reported for this section because it corresponds to the 2022 enrollment numbers above.
