The UC Davis Campus Travel Survey is a joint effort by Transportation Services—formerly known as Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS)—and the National Center for Sustainable Transportation, part of the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis). Since 2007 the survey has been administered each fall by a graduate student at ITS-Davis. The main purpose of the survey is to collect annual data on how the UC Davis community travels to campus, including mode choice, vehicle occupancy, distances traveled, residential location, and carbon emissions. For more than fifteen years, the travel survey results have been used to assess awareness and utilization of campus transportation services and estimate demand for new services designed to promote sustainable commuting at UC Davis. Data from the campus travel survey have also provided researchers with valuable insights about the effects of attitudes and perceptions of mobility options on commute mode choice. The 2021-2022 survey is the fifteenth administration of the campus travel survey.
