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

Student Commuter Survey sent out electronically over two weeks in November of 2016 to all students taking classes at the university, graduate and undergraduate. The response rate was 32.2%. Residential students are assumed to walk or bike because the small size of the campus and enforced parking restrictions make on-campus driving a very rare occurrence.


The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::
Percentage (0-100)
Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) 50.30
Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means 48
Vanpool or carpool 1.70
