A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
The Survey of All Students (SAS) is an ongoing system of surveys for all undergraduate and graduate students. The SAS is administered during the 11th-13th weeks of each semester and average 15 minutes or less for completion. The SAS will include questions targeted toward various student subpopulations (e.g., class-level, athletes, international, transfers, first generation, students enrolled in classes involving new pedagogies such as flipped classroom or online delivery, etc.) as well as a few questions asked of all students. The questions were asked in the surveys of all off-campus students (including all graduate students). Due to the layout of the campus, it can be assumed all on-campus students use walking as their primary means of transportation.
