Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Some faculty and staff do ride their bikes or walk to work during the summer months; however, as the credit asks only for the primary means of transportation they generally marked down "commute with only one driver" as this is the mode of transportation they use during the winter months (a majority of South Dakota's year).
Brookings public transportation is on a on-call basis and does not use regular routes.
