Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:

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:
The following two questions were included in the Fall 2018 sustainability assessment and assessing culture survey. This survey was sent out to a representative sample of the employee population.
What is your primary means of transportation to get to and from campus during the SUMMER (mid-May to mid-Aug) months? If you live on campus, indicate your primary means of transportation to get around campus.
•I am not on campus during the summer (mid-May to mid-Aug)
•Walk
•Bike
•Carpool
•Public transportation
•Motorcycle/moped
•Drive by yourself (excludes motorcycles/mopeds)
•Other non-motorized means (i.e. skateboards, longboards, scooters)
What is your primary means of transportation to get to and from campus during the ACADEMIC (mid-Aug to mid-May) year? If you live on campus indicate your primary means of transportation to get around campus.
•I am not on campus during the academic year (mid-Aug to mid-May)
•Walk
•Bike
•Carpool
•Public transportation
•Motorcycle/moped
•Drive by yourself (excludes motorcycles/mopeds)
•Other non-motorized means (i.e. skateboards, long boards, scooters)
The two questions data were compared. All respondents who indicated they were not on campus for both the summer and academic year were removed. Then, it was noted if the respondent used sustainable means of transportation during 1 or both of the time frames. If a respondent used sustainable means of transportation during both time frames or used it during one time, but was not on campus during the other, they were considered to use sustainable means as their primary means of transportation. All other respondents were considered to not use sustainable means of transportation. A simple percentage was calculated using these numbers.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
As SDSU is located in a northern climate, people may like to ride a bike or walk to class, but it may not be feasible during the majority of the school year. Brookings public transportation is on an on-call basis and does not serve a regular fixed-route.
