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 at West Chester University in the spring of 2018. One out of seven University members were selected randomly by the University to be solicited for participation in the survey. The fraction would provide sufficient statistical precision for the current purposes. The sample was drawn from four student levels and seniors with 120+ credit hours. Students living on campus comprise 39% of the total student body. 16% of the student body commute by modes other than as an individual driver.
