A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:

The most recent student commute survey was completed in 2011 and did not yield results that can be used in responding to this credit in 2018. The figure calculated and entered above is a minimum % of students using modes other than single occupancy vehicle use. It represents the % of students living in on-campus housing, either on North Campus, where walking or bicycling are used to commute to classes, or on South Campus where WCU's shuttle bus system, walking, and bicycling are used to commute to classes: 5,168 students out of 15,565 students. More students live within walking and bicycling distance of campus (in sororities, fraternities, and off-campus housing in surrounding communities) and others use public transportation from Philadelphia and other locations, but they are not included in this estimated percentage.


The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::
