Members of the campus community were asked questions related to affiliation on campus (staff/faculty, or student), level of education, major, living location, number of days traveled to campus per week, length of commute, and primary mode of transportation. There were 306 student responses, which was enough to qualify as a representative sample of campus given a 90% confidence level with 5% margin of error.
