A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:

The Community-Based Social Marketing research group has surveyed on employee commuting and transportation (including business travel and carbon offsetting travel) habits and views. Previously, city-wide studies were conducted regarding Oberlin commuting and transportation activities. Oberlin College is the primary employer for the community of Oberlin; some of this data then applied to College employee commuting.
