Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data reported for 2014-2015 fiscal year.
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 (46%), while the van/carpool includes all employees registered as such (4%). The non-motorized category includes employees registered as walkers/bikers and the Occasional Use parkers (1%) 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 or MARTA passes, and we made the assumption that the remaining unaccounted for employees use some form of public transportation. All parking on campus is by permit only, so if an employee does not have a permit, they are using another more sustainable commute mode than SOV.
