Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Because Emory’s Transportation & Parking Office did not have access to exact figures for some of these categories, the following methodology was used in our calculations:
The drive alone category simply includes any employee who purchased a parking permit (44%), while the van/carpool includes all employees registered as such (4%). The non-motorized category includes employees registered as walkers/bikers (1%) and the Occasional Use parkers (6%) who, according to the Transportation & Parking office, tend to be employees that drive in inclement weather, but walk/bike as their primary mode of transportation. The public transportation category includes employees registered for Park & Ride (2%) or MARTA passes (8%), but this still leaves 35% of employee commuters unaccounted for. Because the reporting tool requires that the commuter percentages add up to 100%, we made the assumption that the remaining employees use some form of public transportation, including Emory’s own alternatively-fueled Cliff Shuttle system, the second largest public transit system in Atlanta.
