Part 1. Student commute modal split

Has the institution gathered data about student commuting behavior?:
Yes

Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
4.60

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Number of students enrolled in carpool program = total number of students carpooling

(Number of students who swipe their ID card when riding City of Fresno buses) + (number of students riding V-line buses) = total number of students riding buses

Number of students who have registered their bike = number of students biking

[Total number of students carpooling (306) + number of students riding buses (589) + number of students biking (57)] divided by [the total number of enrolled students (20,692)]= reported 4.6% of students using sustainable commuting options

These numbers were collected from our Parking & Transportation Manager, therefore we consider this analysis to be representative of the student population. The timeframe for this analysis was one academic year (2022-2023).
