Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
PSU Bike Hub supports bicycle commuting
The PSU Bike Hub is an on-campus bike shop where students and staff can repair their own bikes, learn maintenance skills, and purchase parts & accessories at a discount. http://www.pdx.edu/bikehub/
Percentages represent number of trips taken in each mode by students, not % students taking each mode. PSU believes that surveying about trips by mode during a week is more accurate, as it reflects the possibility of using multiple modes.
