Commuting survey
Students in an independent study course are gathering information about how other Northern Kentucky University students commute to campus. The information they gather will be compiled with emissions statistics going back to 1995 and data about energy use on campus.
A report containing the finding of this study is expected to be released in September, said Gordie Bennett, planning coordinator for NKU.
Led by Professor John Metz, a group of graduate students posted an anonymous survey on Survey Monkey, a Web-based survey design application. The survey asks questions such as how long students’ commutes are in minutes and miles, how many days a week they travel to campus, method of transportation and what factors would encourage them to ride a TANK bus.
“With the growth of the university, emissions have most likely increased as well,” Bennett said. “This study will tell us what areas to focus on and improve.”
Students interested in taking the survey can visit http://tinyurl.com/5mw2cn. It will be available until May 17.
