St. Helena Greenhouse Gas Inventory Project
Employee Commute Survey 2007

This survey will take you about 5 minutes.

As part of an international effort to protect the climate, St. Helena is estimating the greenhouse gas emissions produced by their operations. You were selected at random to provide information about the amount of energy it takes to commute to work. Using your answers we will estimate the total amount of energy needed for employee commutes and convert this to greenhouses gas emissions.

Your answers are totally confidential.

Please answer as accurately as you can. The following questions concern your commute to work for the last 12 months only. Please do not include any commuting you do in a city assigned or city fleet vehicle as those emissions are being counted separately.

1. Number of days you traveled to work last year

Please estimate the approximate number of days you traveled to and from work last year.

Your answers to a. and b. indicate that you traveled to work days during the last year. Please adjust if you think appropriate.

2. How you got to work

Please estimate the percent of travel to and from work last year by the following modes. Hint: Your numbers below should add up to 100%. If you get to work by driving alone in your car, then put 100 in the first box and go to the next question.
