Total percentage of students (graduate and undergraduate) that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary means of transportation:
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:
Information for this credit was gathered from the UWRF Parking Survey, which was last administered in 2005.
'More sustainable Commuting Options' was interpreted as any commuting method that was not driving alone in a single occupancy vehicle.
To maintain consistency with survey definitions, both "Commuters" and "River Falls Residents" were averaged to obtain percentage points for student commute modal split.
As noted on the Parking Survey, good weather vs. bad weather had a negligible impact on transportation modes. The results for this credit were therefore taken from the "Good Weather" category. Small differences in the numbers reported in the survey and the numbers reported here are due to rounding.
Recommendations have been made in the Sustainable Campus Community Plan to update the data as soon as possible.
The percentage of students that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to get to and from campus::
