Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
95
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:
95% of Smith's students live on campus, so they walk or bike across campus to class each day. Even though they might have a student parking permit and have a vehicle parked on campus, they are using their vehicle to travel away from the campus, rather than driving around the campus to class.
5%, of Smith's students live off campus. While most of them live in Northampton just a few miles from campus, we cannot determine if they walk, bike, take the bus, or drive alone to campus. Since we cannot determine their mode of transportation, we assume to be conservative that they all may drive to campus with only the driver in the vehicle.
