Each year, the Office of Sustainability distributes a survey to all UM students, faculty, and staff to gather information on commuting practices. This year, we are also partnering directly with Parking & Transportation and Campus Planning & Development. The information collected from this survey will be used to determine the future direction of alternative mobility here at the U. Please complete this short survey on your commuting practices. The survey will close at the end of February.
