1.72 / 2.00 |
Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
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:
In Q4 2017, 12 campus departments, including Academic partners and the Institutional Research Dept., teamed up to launch and close a campus-wide transportation survey. The Institutional Research office sent the survey directly to a representative sample of campus for all students, faculty and staff, but they do not publish their methodology publicly. We received responses from >8% of the total campus population.
The numbers herein are undergraduate students only. Graduates, Faculty and Staff received a similar transportation survey at the same time as undergrads, but their survey featured slightly different questions. For example, we did not ask if they lived in a Residence Hall, since housing is generally not provided to these groups. Therefore, graduate students are captured in OP-17.
The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::
| Percentage (0-100) | |
| Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) | 14 |
| Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means | 70 |
| Vanpool or carpool | 2 |
| Take a campus shuttle or public transportation | 14 |
| Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped | 0 |
