Part 1. Student commute modal split

Has the institution gathered data about student commuting behavior?:
Yes

Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
93

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Information on the number of parking permits was pulled from the latest Transportation Demand Management Report. Parking in the city of Hoboken is incredibly scarce, and more expensive than a campus permit, so we are assuming that there are a negligible number of drivers not captured by this data. As an urban campus, those who do not live on campus have access to public transportation, as well as the Stevens shuttle system.

Part 2. Employee commute modal split

Has the institution gathered data about employee commuting behavior?:
Yes

Total percentage of employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
64

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Information on the number of parking permits was pulled from the latest Transportation Demand Management Report. Parking in the city of Hoboken is incredibly scarce, and more expensive than a campus permit, so we are assuming that there are a negligible number of drivers not captured by this data. As an urban campus, it is accessible through a number of public transportation methods. We do know of some faculty/staff driving EVs, but the number is also negligible.
