Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UTSA does not have detailed statistics on percentage of students who walk, or bicycle or use campus shuttle or public transportation as their primary method of transportation.

Since UTSA does not have detailed statistics, the number of student parking permit is assumed as equal to the number of students who depend on driving alone as their primary method of transportation. Total student population for Fall 2022 is 34,344. Total full-time equivalent of students for Fall 2022 was 28,532.
