A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Since there is not a reliable method of calculating this number and in the absence of a scientific survey, some assumptions are made based on campus parking permits. While there are some who drive without permits, all parking on campus requires a permit and it is safe to assume most vehicles that come to campus are single occupancy vehicles. To balance these two outliers, we assume that all vehicles are single occupancy vehicles to account for those that use parking meters regularly. In reality, there are probably a decent percentage of faculty or staff that carpool. For faculty in particular, there is likely a percentage that telecommute but it is impossible to determine this number.
Additionally, there are commuter permits owned by faculty or staff who live locally, but only use their vehicles sporadically. There is also a lightly used regional bus service. This would indicate that those who use sustainable transportation might be higher. Therefore, we consider our assumption to be conservative in nature until a proper measurement of sustainable transportation use can be assessed.
