More than 80% of all trips to and from the University of Washington are done through transit, biking, walking, rideshare or another method that isn't driving alone. Reducing the campus drive-alone rate has positive environmental impacts such as reducing emissions, and also makes it easier to move around our community. The most recent campus commuter survey found a 17.3% drive-alone rate, the lowest in 26 years.
