39.63
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
A transportation survey went out to all students in October 2017. A drawing with prizes was provided as incentives. Total student response was 1836, which is a 15% response rate. Students were separated by on and off campus to calculate percentages. For the modes question the number of completed responses for off campus was 1402. On campus was 331. Distance students were deducted from the number of registered students for fall semester 2017. Students were grouped into the areas in which they indicated the highest percentage of travel. They had to respond 55% or more of NOT driving an SOV to be considered a more sustainable commuting option. Students in on-campus housing and neighborhood dorms were divided evenly between walking/biking and bussing/shuttle bus.
