Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
2018 Campus Traffic Survey:
UVic has conducted a detailed Transportation Surveys every two years since 1996, with our most recent being in the October 2018. Physical traffic counts by mode are performed at all entrances to campus (automatic and manual); no commuter is stopped and interviewed. These physical transportation mode counts and are combined with data from our public transit authority in order to determine the transportation modal split of all persons entering/leaving campus. Note that users counted in this survey also include commuters cutting through the property since there is no way to isolate this type of traveller. The counts also do not include demographics (student, staff, faculty, visitor). These limitations affect the transportation modal split calculated.

Travel Choices Survey 2019:
A parking permit “Travel Choices” survey was open from July 12 to September 13, 2019. The purpose of the survey was to understand travel behaviours and choices of UVic parking permit holders, with the intention to improving the university’s current TDM program and parking management practices. A key finding from the Travel Choices Survey is that 62% of respondents drive to campus five days a week with very few “secondary” transportation modes being utilized. Survey analyses also identified two major themes that affect the respondents’ travel choices: flexibility and cost impacts.
