A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
The mobility survey was answered by 3284 students, representing 35.23% of the student population and giving a margin of error of 1.11%. The survey was designed to assess the location from which students commute (using google maps), their method of transportation, their time travel and overall patterns such as going back home directly on a regular basis, using carpooling platforms such as autocompartido and shifting methods of transportation as a result of pico y placa (a governmental restriction on peak hours for specific license plates on each day of the week). 59.52% use other methods for transport rather than driving alone.
The survey was imparted in 2019 and is representative to that year. Its completion was mandatory and was online for 3 weeks.
