A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:

Using LEED EB methodology, the Office of Sustainability calculated a random and representative sampling of faculty and staff at the College. A survey was disseminated in October 2014, in order to account for weather variations appropriately, and the survey was repeatedly released to the population until a large enough portion of the representative sample responded. The survey requested responders to share their commuting habits for the week previous, outlining their commuting method both to and from work. Results were analyzed and are summarized above.
