A survey was conducted by Campus Design & Facilities Development in 2018 for all faculty, staff, and students with the intention of answering the following:
"The Carnegie Mellon University long-term parking strategy will develop a long-term strategy for campus parking transportation needs to allow for continued campus growth. Recent campus construction has slowly removed inexpensive reservoirs of surface parking; new campus developments will impact the campus parking system and will require additional parking demand / analysis study".
Participation in the survey was voluntary and open to the entire campus community.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
An update to the commuter survey has been postponed due to the pandemic. The University continues to offer flexible work options, including allowing staff to work remotely where practicable. The most recent academic year was taught as a hybrid of remote and in-person options. Therefore, an update to the survey would not provide an accurate representation of the campus community's commuting habits.
