Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
“Dropped Off” (3.92%) and “Other” (1.09%) included in sustainable options, but not included in Carpool/Vanpool. Percentages represent number of trips taken in each mode by employees, not % employees taking each mode. PSU believes that surveying about # trips per mode during a week is more accurate, as it reflects the possibility of using multiple modes.
