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:
As a follow-up to a previous Transportation Demand Management Plan, the university conducted a transportation survey among staff, students and faculty in October 2019 through an online survey made available to all campus users. The modal split accounted for cycling, transit (including park and ride), walking, carpooling or van-pooling, motorcycling, and driving in a single occupancy vehicle. Students and staff & faculty were evaluated separately.

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) 36.90
Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means 30.60
Vanpool or carpool 11.50
Take a campus shuttle or public transportation 21
Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped
Telecommute for 50 percent or more of their regular work hours
