0.62 / 2.00 |
Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
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:
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office sent the survey directly to a representative sample of campus for all students, faculty and staff, but they do not publish their methodology publicly.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 reflect responses from Graduate Students, Faculty and Staff because these groups received a slightly difference survey than our undergraduate population.
The percentage of the institution's employees that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to and from campus::
| Percentage (0-100) | |
| Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) | 69 |
| Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means | 16 |
| Vanpool or carpool | 5 |
| Take a campus shuttle or public transportation | 9 |
| Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped | 1 |
| Telecommute for 50 percent or more of their regular work hours | 0 |

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UD's Transportation Survey calculated each transportation mode separately based on frequency of transit in order to capture better multi-modal data from campus users. As a result the totals herein don't quite equal 100%, and there is a small margin of error.
We used the "most often" category to answer these questions. In our survey this represented transportation options utilized more than half of the days / weeks out of each month.
