Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
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:
Information for this credit was gathered from the UWRF Transportation/Campus Amenities Survey which was administered in October, 2017. Previous data was from 2005.
'More sustainable Commuting Options' was interpreted as any commuting method that was not driving alone in a single occupancy vehicle. The survey went out to all faculty and staff. 316 faculty/staff took the survey which was 39% of those invited to participate. Given our employee population, the data collected is estimated at being accurate to within =/- 4.3% with 95% confidence.
Recommendations have been made in the Sustainable Campus Community Plan to update the data as soon as possible.
