A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Commuting data is derived from a survey conducted every few years by the Energy & Sustainability Office at WSU. The latest survey data was collected in 2017. WSU was due to conduct the latest commuter survey data in fall 2020 but did not because of the pandemic. WSU is sending out a new commuter survey in March, 2022 and therefore results are not yet available.
The survey is sent to a representative and random sample of students, faculty and staff through WSU’s Student Voice. Survey participants are asked to report on the mode(s) of transportation used to travel to campus, the distance from their home to campus, and the average number of days per week traveled to campus. If respondents indicated that they traveled to both the Ogden and Davis Campuses, then data for travel to both campuses was collected.
