Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
81

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:

We employed a conservative method of analysis that looked at parking permit data and on-campus housing data to estimate commuting patterns. It is likely that if this analysis was done using campus addresses, we would be closer to 90%, because Morris is a residential campus and most students live near campus.


The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::

Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) 19
