Commuter Studies

Starting in 2009, Dalhousie University's Office of Sustainability, in collaboration with DalTRAC, has conducted the annual Dalhousie University Commuter Study. The study aims to collect information on those who frequent Dalhousie University's multiple campuses, to understand how students, staff, and faculty travel.

Why Do We Do The Survey

  • To understand travel habits such as mode choice, travel distance, destinations, and travel time.
  • To identify sustainable travel behaviours among students, staff, and faculty, as well as identify the state of ongoing sustainability projects and initiatives.
  • To provide data that will support developing and expanding sustainable projects and initiatives.

Why Does It Matter To You

As a member of the Dalhousie community, participating in the commuter survey will mean your experiences traveling to, from, on, or between campuses will help shape the future of mobility at Dalhousie.
