A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
A 2018 Fall Travel Survey was electronically distributed to the entire campus community early in the Fall Semester to learn commuting habits. The commute mode split was determined from a question that asked for the individual's 'primary commute mode of travel between your residence and your class/work site'. Approximately 1/3 of students responded to the survey.
