Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Please note that some figures reported above do not add up to 100% as some answers are not mutually exclusive (e.g., some respondents may walk one way to school and take the bus back home). However, this issue does not impact the overall percentages reported for sustainable modes of travel in aggregate.
Future iterations of the survey will be restructured to remove this issue and an additional category for an option for "electric vehicles" will be provided for respondents, given the large proponent of respondents that noted this.
