A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Four different data sets were used in conjunction with one another in order to estimate the most accurate numbers possible for the travel trends of UMD’s students, faculty and staff. The data from the 2007 carbon commuting calculations were used, as well as data from 2009 student survey, though this data was only applied to the students, and not faculty and/or staff. Data from the 2013 MPIRG TRANSITion survey was used to speculate changes in overall trends, and finally recent data based on student, faculty, and staff housing was applied.
