A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Between November 22 and December 17, 2014, members of the UW-L community were surveyed on their transportation behavior and preferences online. The survey procedure and questions were approved by the Institutional Review Board on November 7, 2014. The 25 questions covered transportation behavior, origin/destination, demographics, and policy preferences; the relevant question asked “Most of the time, how do you get to and from the UW-L campus? In other words, what is your primary method of commuting on any given day of the year? Personal automobile (1 occupant), Public Bus, Bicycle, Walking, Carpool or Van (More than 1 occupant), Motorcycle/Scooter/Moped, Longboard, Rollerblade, I choose not to respond, Other.” A total of 526 members of the UW-L community responded; 154 of these were employees who did not also identify as students (with the total of 154 including staff, faculty, and any other state employee at the institution.) This represents 13% of the 1,224 total institutional employees. Additional statistics, including the total number of employees, come from the UW-L Affirmative Action Office 2014 Executive Summary: http://www.uwlax.edu/uploadedFiles/Offices/Affirmative_Action/2014%20Executive%20Summary.pdf
