• UW Oshkosh is surrounded by residential areas, Fox River
• Parking on campus is limited
• Study to select best alternative options for commuter staff and students.

Data Collection
• Parking permit application cards– Home Address– Vehicle Information
• Samples were taken from– Commuter Student– Staff

Calculating the Distance Travelled
• Address is entered into Google Maps
• Route with the shortest time selected

Current Studies
• Estimate the Cost of Operating a Van Pool– Utilize AAA estimates– “Your Driving Costs 2010”
• Conduct Surveys to Gain Commuter Input– Surveys will capture commuters who use
alternatives, non-permit holders
