Mode Choice

All sectors of the campus community have shifted from single-occupancy-vehicle (SOV) use to transit use.  Among staff, SOV use has decreased from 44 percent to 40 percent while transit use has increased from 25 percent to 35 percent and carpool/vanpool use has increased from 15 percent to 19 percent.  Faculty and students also shifted away from driving alone to using other modes.  For example, student SOV use has decreased from 25 percent to only 16 percent while walking has increased from 31 percent to 39 percent.

The most current mode data was collected by the 1998 phone survey. This survey is conducted by the Transportation Office biennially.
