The cordon count method is used to gather data about student commuting. The annual visual count of commuters arriving on campus cannot be broken down by type of commuter (students vs. employees). This commuter mode split data reflects the total population surveyed by physical count of Commuter Vehicle by type and associated Commuter Vehicle people during Winter Quarter FY 22-23 of campus entrances for commuter people and commuter vehicles. Survey supplemented with on-campus student housing resident counts.
