A sustainability survey was distributed by the Office of Sustainability in fall 2013 in which students were asked to anonymously respond to the following question: What is your primary mode of transportation to campus? The answers from which they could choose were the OP-19 answers listed above. This survey was approved by the IRB and can prove statistically valid.

Percentage (0-100)
Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) 24.30
Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means 62.60
Vanpool or carpool 5.40
