Total percentage of the institution’s employees that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary method of transportation:
A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
A 2011 employee commute survey (the most recent available) resulted in 88.5% of respondents (n=486, an approximate 30% response rate) indicating they drove to campus by car or truck (an unknown number of these may have carpooled, but we do not have evidence, so we assume all drove by themselves). The other 11.5% walked (9%), biked or took public transit. The survey was distributed to all employees and was not based on a randomized sample. Efforts were made to ensure that all categories of employees, including those without work access to computers (the survey was distributed electronically), such as custodial and dining staff, were represented in the final data set.
The percentage of the institution's employees that use each of the following modes as their primary means of transportation to and from campus::
| Percentage (0-100) | |
| Commute with only the driver in the vehicle (excluding motorcycles and scooters) | --- |
| Walk, bicycle, or use other non-motorized means | --- |
| Vanpool or carpool | --- |
| Take a campus shuttle or public transportation | --- |
| Use a motorcycle, scooter or moped | --- |
| Telecommute for 50 percent or more of their regular work hours | --- |
