The survey was sent to a all faculty and staff and received a 15.4% response rate, which is statistically significant. The survey did not ask about telecommuting. In addition to the percentages listed in optional fields below, 1.3% reported that they were dropped off by a private vehicle (like Lyft or Uber). The results had a +/- 3.1% margin of error.
