A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Parking permits records were analyzed to see what types of permits were sold. Smith tracks carpool permits and issues "Opt-Out" permits to employees that get to campus using alternative transportation. "Opt-Out" participants are issued a permit that is affixed to their vehicle to prevent program abuse, and participants are paid either $150/year if they live within 1 mile of campus, or $400/year if they live outside a 1 mile radius from campus.
