Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
The bus percentage for faculty increased. After talking with Parking services, we went through and looked at the percentage of faculty and staff that had a parking pass, and estimated from those that do not who would bus. She said this has gone up with the new LANTA free rides with Lehigh ID. We also included Lehigh faculty and staff that are not on this campus (New York and California) and assumed higher bus rates there, thus raising the overall bussing percentage. I also used a survey of distance from campus for faculty to estimate some data.
Besides this, walking/biking rates also went up and personal driving and carpooling percentage went down. Again, this data was found using parking pass information with Sara. Specific passes for carpooling members and parking pass information were both used for this.
The percentage of the institution's employees that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to and from campus::
| Percentage (0-100) | |
| Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) | 80 |
| Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means | 12 |
| Vanpool or carpool | 1.50 |
| Take a campus shuttle or public transportation | 6 |
| Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped | --- |
