Yes

Total percentage of students that use more sustainable commuting options as their primary mode of transportation:
29

A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about student commuting:
UDEM has a database which includes:
Number of people whom take "directo UDEM" buses from the university.
Carpooling parking space has a daily record of use.

Also, a survey was sent to all the institutional emails of the students (12165) of the UDEM. This analysis was carried out in the month of August 2019 (prior to the pandemic), in which the participants reveal their most used means of transport. In August 2020 the analysis was repeated asking how they would move taking into account the conditions of the pandemic, this other analysis the participants declare what their preference would be. Fiscal 2019 is shown because revealed preference surveys are more reliable than declared preference surveys.
