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:
We conducted a survey in spring 2016 to learn about the ways Dickinson employees commute to work so that we can better understand how Dickinson employees commute, the environmental impacts of employee commuting, and consider ways that the college might promote sustainable and financially beneficial transportation choices.
A large proportion of Dickinson’s faculty and staff completed the survey. We received 477 responses from the College’s 925 employees, equivalent to 52% of the population. The 477 respondents were made up of 352 staff and 125 faculty. We were able to determine the commuting distance of 450 employees and the transportation mode of 448. We received information of summer commuting behaviors from 388 respondents.
