Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
57.10

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:
Data are not segmented separately by students or employees, so this 57% includes them both. All commuter mode split data reflect the total population surveyed by physical count of Commuter Vehicle by type and associated Commuter Vehicle people during Winter Quarter FY17 of campus entrances for commuter people and commuter vehicles. A representative day is created over a multiple day process each year for a data set that allows comparison of mode split calculations year to year. Additionally, in 2017 campus faculty, staff, and students were surveyed to determine the modal split to better correlate the annual vehicle count data.
