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:
Mohawk College participates in the Smart Commute Annual Travel Survey. The online survey is conducted across the City of Hamilton and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area each September to measure commuting trends and mode shift. The annual travel survey asks how people got to and from work or school most often in the last 12 months, if they tried a new mode, and why they tried a new mode. The survey is open for 5 weeks. Mohawk College requires 381 responses in order to be statistically significant (95% confidence level, 5% margin of error). In 2018, Mohawk college collected 476 student responses, and 161 staff responses, for a total of 637 responses across the organization
