Transportation Reports and Studies

The 2025 UBC Okanagan Transportation Survey Report (and accompanying Appendices) provides a snapshot of how students, faculty and staff travel to and from campus and highlights opportunities to advance the University’s sustainable transportation goals. The results reported are from an online survey directed at the UBCO campus community in early Fall 2025 and are intended to supplement the biennial transportation data collection and monitoring program at UBC Okanagan, which are summarized in the UBCO Transportation Status Reports. 

Survey results indicate that 45% of respondents commute using sustainable modes, with 31% primarily commuting by bus and 15% by active transportation. Based on the 2025 UBCO Transportation Status Report, these are slightly higher than the mode share observed from the latest data collection with 39% of trips made by sustainable modes, 25% of trips made by bus and 14.5% of trips made by active modes. Driving remains a significant commuting mode, particularly for employees, although carpooling and shared mobility options play a growing role. Overall, the findings suggest UBCO is making progress toward the long-term targets in the UBCO Transportation Plan, with transit continuing to be the foundation of sustainable travel to and from campus.  

The 2015 Transportation Survey collected current commuter information and potential future travel pattern changes resulting from upcoming road and cycling projects to inform upcoming campus projects and to share with external partners engaged in Transportation Planning.

This report presents the results of the UBC Okanagan Transportation Survey, which was undertaken in October 2009.

This survey was conducted to identify transportation needs at the Okanagan campus and to inform transportation planning.
