A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
Similar to the method to calculate the student modal split, the Office of Environmental Sustainability, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness and Urban Planning Directors created the “UAlbany Student Transportation Survey: Fall 2013" based off of a similar survey conducted in the 2006-2007 school year. Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates completed that study, which was conducted at the Harriman Campus. The 2013 survey was conducted in a similar manner, with additional questions added that were more up-to-date and tailored to the UAlbany population specifically. There were 222 faculty and 424 staff who completed the survey.
