A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
Data is collected annually at the entry points to the campus to understand how the university population is travelling to and from the campus each year. All modes of travel are counted along with the number of passengers to understand the total number of trips to and from the campus on an average weekday. Note, annual screenline counts indicate % of modal split, but do not differentiate between students and employees.
