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:
Regular surveys are conducted at HSU to identify commuting and parking practices of the entire campus community, with the response pool including faculty, staff and students. To report on this credit, however, investigators conducted face to face surveys of students only between November 28th and December 2nd, 2016. Investigators walked the campus, up to 3.5 hours a day for three days, to survey students. Investigators explained the intent of the survey, and that response is voluntary and confidential, and requested consent before asking the survey questions. No identifying data was collected. The survey consisted of four questions: “Do you live on campus?”; “If yes, do you generally walk, bike or use non-motorized means to get to class?”; “If you do not live on campus, what is your primary means of transportation to and from campus?”, and “if you commute to campus in a car, do you generally drive alone or carpool?” At the conclusion of this process, investigators reached a total of 842 students, or 10% of the total number of students currently enrolled at HSU. This was determined to be a significant sample size for the purposes of this credit.
