a - Based on an assumption that 10% of off-campus living students live within a walking distance to Pitt. b - Garage and lot spaces were reported together in FY08.
In order to calculate commuting-related emissions, SIMAP inputs include data related to faculty, staff, and student travel distributions by mode; the average distance traveled by each mode; number of one way trips each week; and the number of weeks in the fiscal year. Subsequently, the data documented in Table 15 had to be supplemented with some general assumptions listed below:
1) There are 47 working weeks in a fiscal year for faculty and staff, and 30 regular school weeks for students (Fall and Spring semester). 2) All students living on-campus walk to school. 23
