Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The percentages indicated above are based upon the number of parking passes and subsidized public transportation passes requested/distributed throughout the year.

Alternative option-specific details are as follows:

Non-motorized Transport: Numbers are based upon the difference following calculations regarding public and private transport.

Car/van pool: The percentage indicated is based on the number of carpool program student members on the Medical School Campus. The Danforth campus does not currently have a van or carpool system in place for students. Options are being explored to expand the Bearly Drivers/Ridefinders services in use by University employees.

Public Transportation: The percentage indicated is based on the number of Metro Passes requested/distributed. Although we have no system in place as of yet to determine how many of these passes are relied upon as a primary means of transport, we assume that they are used on a frequent basis and know that many do rely on St. Louis Metro for their daily commuting needs between campuses and around the city

Drive alone: The percentage indicated is based on the number of Parking Passes requested/distributed. Although we have no system in place as of yet to determine how many of these passes are relied upon as a primary means of transport (and how many of these students also request a Metro pass, we assume that those with a car on campus will use it frequently.
