A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Stanislaus State is required to comply with the State of California's eTRIP Rule (Rule 9410, Employer Based Trip Reduction), which was adopted by the District Governing Board on December 17, 2009. The eTRIP Rule require larger employers to establish an Employer Trip Reduction Implementation Plan (eTRIP) to encourage employees to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips, thus reducing pollutant emissions associated with work commutes. The eTRIP Rule applies to worksites in incorporated cities with a population of at least 10,000 people OR worksites where at least 50% of all employees work at least 2,040 hours per year.

According to Rule 9410, eTRIP employers shall collect information on the methods of transportation used for each Eligible Employee’s commutes both to and from work for every day of the week-long Commute Verification Period. Stanislaus State uses a Representative Survey Method to survey all university employees. This data was captured during the 2022 calendar year.
