The on-campus resident numbers include students, faculty, and staff. The number of full-time, non-residential/commuter student, faculty, and staff members includes total of full-time and part-time students, faculty, and staff members; part-time population data is unavailable. The part-time non-residential/commuter students, faculty, and staff members are not available because no part-time population data is available. “As various methods are used for calculating annual staff, faculty, and student populations to STARS commuter questions contained totals that represented two different methodologies for calculating commuter data. UC San Diego can best ensure accuracy by reporting metrics currently tracked by Transportation Services, which meticulously documents during its annual survey of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This survey focuses on tracking all commuter data for transportation and greenhouse gas purposes, but it does not distinguish between student, faculty, staff or campus visitors. Over a decade of data has been collected in this manner and demonstrates a significant increase in alternative transportation usage by commuters. The updated number is the most precise representation of UC San Diego currently available.
