A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
UMN Morris employed a conservative method of analysis that looked at parking permit data and on-campus housing data to estimate commuting patterns. It is likely that if this analysis was done using campus addresses, we would be closer to 90%, because UMN Morris is a residential campus and most students live near campus. Questions were also added to the Morris Sustainability Culture Survey that asked about campus commuting choices students and staff are making.
