Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In our 2017 survey, 2 faculty/staff reported driving electric cars. These were included in the motorcycle/scooter/moped category because of their lower impact. Due to Luther College's proximity to the town of Decorah, many faculty and staff commute to work by foot or on bike, especially in the warmer months.
