Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
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:
These numbers were calculated based on a voluntary survey that was distributed to students through email. The town of Gunnison is very small ~5,000 people and Western's campus is also very small so most students are able to walk or ride bicycles to campus. In fact, most off campus students live within 1 mile of campus.
The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::
| Percentage (0-100) | |
| Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) | 40 |
| Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means | 45 |
| Vanpool or carpool | 12 |
| Take a campus shuttle or public transportation | 0 |
| Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped | 3 |
