Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Data was not available for full- vs. part-time faculty and staff. Thus, "Non-residential/commuter PART-TIME students, faculty, and staff members" reflect only part-time students, while all faculty and staff members are included in "Non-residential/commuter full-time students, faculty, and staff members." It should also be noted that all efforts were taken to ensure that data was accurate, especially in regards to commuting behavior of full- and part-time faculty and staff through surveys of number of trips taken per week.
