14
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
During the Fall 2016 semester, a senior Geospatial Science major, under the supervision of Dr. Richard Roth, completed 3 Independent Study credits by conducting a commuter survey for all faculty, staff, and students. The survey uses the home addresses of all commuter parking pass holders (student commuters, faculty, and staff), and maps and records mileage of each pass holder.
Faculty and Staff purchase commuter parking passes. During the Fall 2016 semester, Radford university employed 618 FTE faculty who purchased 535 faculty commuter parking passes and 865 FTE staff who purchased 738 staff parking passes. The remaining employees were assumed to travel to work using different methods, primarily carpooling and public transit.
