The MA Dept of Environmental Protection requires institutions to provide data regarding their commuting population. This data is derived from a random survey method conducted by the Office of University Decision Support, that utilized a stratified random sampling to ensure a proportionate number of faculty, staff and students were included. The survey was administered using Qualtrics web survey software in October 2017.

2017 Long version of state Rideshare Report submitted Institutional Research. We were due for another in 2020 but due to pandemic was delayed and this is the most credible recent survey based on a typical year. Our internal survey seeks more than just Rideshare data; it encompasses cultural assumptions about overall transportation choices and decisions in order to respond to the needs of our community and address transportation challenges in Boston
