A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Information for this credit was gathered from the UWRF Parking Survey, which was last administered in 2005.
'More sustainable Commuting Options' was interpreted as any commuting method that was not driving alone.
As noted on the Parking Survey, good weather vs. bad weather had a negligible impact on transportation modes. The results for this credit were therefore taken from the "Good Weather" category.
Small differences in the numbers reported in the survey and the numbers reported here are due to rounding.
Recommendations have been made in the Sustainable Campus Community Plan to update the data as soon as possible.

Falcon Outdoor Adventures (a program of Campus Recreation) offers bicycle rental to students, staff, and the RF community. Bicycles can be checked out 5 days a week for day, weekend, or weekly use. There is a fee for bicycle rental for staff and community members, however, bicycle rental for students is free. A long term (semester) lease program is available for students for a fee.
In 2015, the community via WeBike River Falls, is working with Pierce County on a Blue Bike program for the campus and community.
