A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
In February 2020, a campus-wide survey was conducted to assess current commuting patterns. The survey remained open for six weeks and closed just before our campus moved online due to the COVID pandemic. With 1,644 responses, 19% of SU students and employees responded to the commuting survey. Response rates were statistically significant for all groups.
The survey collected the following data for staff/faculty/students: % of total one-way trips per mode of transportation (single occupancy vehicle; single occupancy vehicle hybrid; single occupancy vehicle electric; carpool; carpool hybrid; carpool electric; motorcycle or scooter; bus; light rail; streetcar; commuter rail; ferry; bicycle; walk); average number of one-way trips per week per commuter; average number of weeks traveled per commuter; average miles per one-way trip per commuting mode.
