Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Based on our parking and mobility study done in 2005, we can see that a vast majority of Faculty and Staff commute via single occupancy vehicles (SOV). Most survey respondents were private automobile commuters and it is difficult for other modes to compete with the automobile for flexibility, travel time and reliability. Cost was not reported to be a major factor for these Faculty and Staff respondents. Many SOV commuters indicated that public transit travel times are too long and that service does not stop near their home. A number of respondents indicated that they were unfamiliar with service routes and schedules.
