OP-15: Student Commute Modal Split

Transportation information is based on a spring 2010 survey by Associated Students and parking and trolley pass sales information for 2009-10. SDSU is a predominantly non-residential campus with approximately 13% of undergraduate students living on-campus. In the spring 2010 AS survey 35.9% of students report living within 10 minutes of campus and 55.9% report living within 20 minutes of campus. Primary transportation numbers reflect the fact that many students do not live within walking distance (10 minute or less)and commute. However, primary transportation data does not capture a potentially significant portion of students who regularly utilize more than one method of transportation. Of students who selected "other" on the survey and entered comments 30% indicated using another form of public transportation exclusively such as a shuttle not offered as a survey option and 65% indicated they drive and use some form of alternative transportation as their primary method of getting to campus. Comparing reported solo-driving rates with semester parking pass sales also support the conclusion that many students who drive to campus also utilize alternative transportation.
