A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:

A student commuter survey was disseminated to the off-campus student population in order to determine their commuting habits. Colby College is a residential campus and provides housing for 1,720 of its 1,820 students. Further, its academic buildings on located on interior quads of the campus, easily navigable from dormitories by walking or bike. As the survey requests that we determine how students travel to and from campus, the residential student population was assumed to be a sustainable mode of transportation because the College provides on campus housing for most of the student population. Based on the results of the off campus survey, the results were tabulated and these are reflected above and are inclusive of the residential student population living on campus.
