Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
67.20
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:
This data was collected using a survey developed by the Office of Sustainability. A short survey was chosen to help ensure a good response and foster the completion of future surveys. The survey was also designed to record self-reported commuting patterns instead of the employees’ attitudes towards commuting. This provides information on self-reported actions instead of intentions, which tend to only state what people they think they should do.
Employees were asked to provide information on ther primary (3-5 days a week) and secondary (1-2 days a week) form of transportation to get to work and if it changed depending on the season (summer and winter).
The survey was distributed twice via Today at MacEwan (institution wide newsletter) among all MacEwan employees in June 2018. There were a total of 184 valid responses.
