Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data reported for 2018-2019 fiscal year.
Commute data is calculated through an annual all-campus survey, and reported as % of commute trips that are sustainable for Emory's GHG emissions inventory. Therefore, the numbers above reflect the % of primary commute trips that are sustainable, and is an under-estimate of the number of commuters that use a sustainable commute as their primary mode.
