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 employees also request a Metro pass, we assume that those employees requesting a parking pass will be using their personal vehicle as a primary means of transport.
