A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:

The Office of Sustainability surveys faculty and staff about methods used to get to work. Partner and spouses who travel together to work are categorized as carpooling. In addition, calculations are done for the distance of the home of record for each employee from the college. The most recent survey was done in 2017 and had 226 respondents out of 780 possible. This represents a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error.
