Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
73.40
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
UVic has conducted a detailed traffic surveys every two years since 1996, our most recent being in the October 2014. Traffic counts by mode are done at entrances to campus and combined with data from our public transit authority to come up with campus modal splits. See: http://www.uvic.ca/sustainability/topics/transportation/index.php. It is, however, impossible to determine actual modal splits by students versus employees and visitors. Therefore, these splits by campus user type have been estimated .

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Since 1996, UVic has been conducting comprehensive traffic surveys every 2 years to assess how students and employees are travelling to and from campus. Our data indicates that over the past 18 years, the percentage of people choosing sustainable transportation over the single occupancy vehicle has increased from 42.5% to 60.2%. See our 2014 Campus Traffic Survey for more details: http://www.uvic.ca/sustainability/resources/reports/index.php
The breakdown of modal splits between students and employees is estimated as it is impossible to differentiate these groups within our traffic counts (e.g. How do you accurately distinguish a student cyclist from an employee?). Details of the estimates provided are available from the Office of Campus Planning and Sustainability.
