Swiss Mobility Panel
For all information, please refer to the Swiss Mobility Panel section on the Institute of Science, Technology and Policy (ISTP) homepage. For more information in German, please visit the Schweizer Mobilitätspanel page.
The mobility of the Swiss population, measured in km/day, has been increasing steadily for years. This is pushing both public and private transportation capacities to their limits. At the same time, Switzerland will fall far short of its 2020 climate protection targets, and while emissions from the transport sector have hardly reduced at all, it seems very difficult to find the necessary political majorities for drastic measures.
Against this backdrop, the Swiss Mobility Panel explores public opinion dynamics in Switzerland in relation to mobility preferences and behavior, changes therein, and linkages to preferences and behavior in other policy realms.
Around 9,500 randomly selected individuals participate in the Swiss Mobility Panel and answer these and related questions. Starting in October 2020, the Swiss Mobility Panel is an ongoing research project, a collaboration between the research group International Political Economy and Environmental Politics and the Institute for Transport Planning and Systems at the Institute of Science, Technology and Policy of ETH Zurich.
