The name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The State of Washington requires participation in an institution-wide survey to understand commute impact at the worksite. Gonzaga has participated at a rate less than the requirement for the last several years.
This year the campaign successfully led to increased participation in the survey and obtained positive results.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
We not only achieved the threshold response rate, we hit an all-time survey response high of 65% and Spokane County CTR Office has singled us out for commendation on our progress, the best performance in 11 years. Through education and taking action, we’ve decreased “drive alone rates” by 5.5% and “vehicle miles traveled” by 4.1% from our baseline report.
