Part 1. Student commute modal split
Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
In Spring 2024, a group of students in an MBA course (MBA-695-01: Action Based Learning Lab) administered a voluntary survey to students, faculty, and staff to study transportation habits for commuting to campus. The survey was designed through collaboration with QUSIC, business professors, and a focus group of students. The survey was initially emailed to students and employees, and reminders were sent throughout the research period. The results from the survey included over 500 responses from students, faculty, and staff. At least 247 students responded to the survey (with potentially more that left the identity field blank). The data from the survey was extrapolated to represent each participant group. Of the 247 student responses, 59 reported using a sustainable method of transportation to commute to campus; equally 23.9% of responses.
