Part 1. Student commute modal split

Has the institution gathered data about student commuting behavior?:
Yes

Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
83

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
The following data sources were used to calculate these percentages: permits sold by type, daily permits sold by type, motorcycle/scooter permit, bus pass sales and campus shuttle statistics. All students not identified in one of these categories were included in walk or bike modes. Residential students walk to class, so those with residential SOV permits were removed from the commuting number and counted as non-motorized. This data is supported by recent survey regarding commute behavior.

Yes

Total percentage of employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:

This information was gathered from the transportation and parking database that includes the total number of parking permits and transit permits sold as well as bike registrations. Annual survey data is used as well to support this calculation.For this survey, we were able to get over 80% of all employees to participate.
