dc.description.abstractThe University of Calgary, comprising more than 33,000 students and 7,000 employees, contributes significantly to the city's transportation demand and needs for different transportation modes. Thus, it is important to enhance the sustainable transportation network and shift commuters' transportation demand to more sustainable modes. With this aim, the Ancillary Services and Office of Sustainability of the university, in partnership with a research group from the Civil Engineering Department of the university, started a project called "Toward Sustainable Transportation on Campus". In order to obtain the required data for this project, an online survey was designed and distributed among university members to capture their commuting behaviour and their attitude toward various aspects of transportation. We investigated the gathered data to shed light on commuters' current situation travel patterns to and from the University of Calgary campuses. We also identified barriers to use each transportation mode and examined the satisfaction level commuters have with their trips. Based on the results obtained from our analysis, a set of recommendations is provided that could increase the desirability of sustainable transportation modes and encourage commuters to switch from private cars to public transit and active modes.en_US
