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:
Similar to the method to calculate the student modal split, the Office of Environmental Sustainability, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness and Urban Planning Directors created a transportation survey based off of a similar survey conducted in the 2006-2007 school year. Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates completed that study, which was conducted at the Harriman Campus. The survey had been administered three times. First in 2009, again in 2013 and most recently in 2016. The Institutional Research office randomly sampled faculty, staff and students to complete the survey
There were 698 faculty and staff who completed the survey.
