A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting, including the timeframe for when the analysis was conducted and how a representative sample was reached, if applicable:
Data:
Parking Services uses questionnaires (most recent from 2017) to report data on non-residential (commuting students and employees) and reports this data to the MA DEP annually. There is no breakdown of commuter students vs employees from 2017 since the state doesn’t require a breakdown so we are using the same numbers for both students and employees for commuters.
2017 questionnaire data:
SOV 53%
Transit 28%
Carpool 7%
Bicycle 7%
Walk 4%
Telecommute 1%
Total sustainable commute: 47%
