=== Commuting College Students === The number of students who commute to college continues to increase significantly as the years go by. From 1996 to 2006 alone, the percentage of undergraduate students who commuted to campus began to increase at a rate of 30% to 50%.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Understanding and Addressing Commuter Student Needs |publisher=J. Patrick Biddix |pages=80}}</ref> In a study involving 10 universities in Canada, 61% of students reported that their commute was a challenge to campus participation, while 30% perceived it as a barrier to academic success. Factors influencing satisfaction included commute mode, duration, travel attitudes, and campus type. Notably, 72% of students had one-way commutes of one hour or less, 22% had commutes lasting between 60 and 90 minutes, and 9% faced commutes exceeding 90 minutes.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Taylor |first1=Ryan |last2=Mitra |first2=Raktim |date=2021-07-01 |title=Commute satisfaction and its relationship to post-secondary students' campus participation and success |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1361920921001917 |journal=Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment |volume=96 |pages=102890 |doi=10.1016/j.trd.2021.102890 |bibcode=2021TRPD...9602890T |issn=1361-9209|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
