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:
The Sustainability Cultural Indicators Program is a multi-year survey of U-M faculty, staff, and students designed to assess sustainability knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes. The survey has been administered to samples of university students, faculty, and staff in Fall 2012, Fall 2013, Fall 2014 and Fall 2015. The 2015 survey asked employees "How do you most often travel to and from your home to your campus work place?"
