A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
The sustainability office conducted a transportation survey in the spring of 2013 that asked a number of questions, including primary mode of transportation for commuting to campus. The survey was designed by the director of sustainability (a former transportation research scholar from University of Vermont's Transportation Center) with input from the director of student involvement and a special focus group dedicated to carpooling. The response rate was 45%. Surveys were emailed three times to the population and survey responses were also collected in person aided by work study students with laptops sitting in the high traffic area of the student center for five days during lunch time. Additionally, a class helped to administer the in-person surveys. Participation was incentivized by participants being entered into a raffle to win a $20 gift certificate to a local business. Distance education students who do not travel to campus were excluded from the survey.
