A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:

The survey instrument used was similar to that used in 2009 with some exceptions. Questions about the new rail line, DCTA and DART buses, charging stations, the ride share program, and the Hertz rental car program were inserted in 2011. Questions from the 2009 instruments about housing, income, credit hours enrolled, classification, employment and children were removed. The survey instrument was programmed using Drupal on a forms page hosted by the UNT Central Web Support team. The survey could only be accessed by logging into the survey using the respondent’s UNT user ID and their corresponding password. The survey was restricted to one response per user ID. The conceptual population for the survey was all students, faculty and staff of the University of North Texas in Denton. A total of 3,321 usable interviews were conducted and analyzed.
