Full-time equivalent of employees:
Has the institution gathered data about student commuting behavior?:
Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Even though the campus was teaching in an entirely remote modality for the 2020 -2021 academic year, for data consistency a 2020 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'. A choice of 'I don't commute' was added, which represented approximately as much % as the answer 'walk' did in previous years. Approximately 1/4 of students responded to the survey.

Even though the campus was working in a mostly remote modality for the 2020 -2021 academic year, for data consistency a 2020 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'. A choice of 'I don't commute' was added, which represented approximately as much % as the answer 'walk' did in previous years. Approximately 2/3 of faculty and staff responded to the survey.
