To determine mode of transport, students were asked the question below in their combined Sustainability Literacy/Culture survey. The pre-survey was completed in August 2023 with the post-survey scheduled for end of November 2023. Due to the student survey group not being representative of all students due to exclusion of selected students, we have not included any percentages.
The total percentage of 49.7% is the percentage calculated from the student responses and is not representative of all students as all students did not respond to the survey.
