Commuters and Parking at UNC-G. Preliminary Findings from the Commuting Student Survey.
Reichard, Donald J.; McArver, Patricia P.
Data gleaned from items relating to transportation and parking from the Commuting Student Survey are reported. The survey questionnaire was designed to provide an overview of several aspects of the commuting student's relationship with the university and was sent to a stratified random sample of 2,140 students who were enrolled for the spring 1975 semester. Highlights of the findings include the following: (1) Eighty percent of the commuters depend on their own or their family's automobile for transportation to campus. (2) Negligible use is made of public transportation. (3) Less than 5 percent of commuters use carpools, although more than half express a willingness to do so. (4) Commuters consistently underestimate the costs of driving a car to campus. (5) The greatest number of cars are present on campus or in the vicinity around 10 a.m. (6) Many commuters do not purchase parking tickets for their cars. Recommendations for solving the parking problem for both students and staff are considered. (Author/LBH)
