Verband Region Stuttgart: Mobilitätsverhalten

Household survey "Mobility in the Stuttgart Region"

For a demand-oriented, efficient, environmentally and climate-friendly transport service in the region: regional mobility data can help - which is why the VRS is conducting a household survey again this year.

Mobility is a basic prerequisite for an active and varied lifestyle, both professionally and privately. The Verband Region Stuttgart is responsible for transportation planning in the region. Our aim is to further develop transport services in a future-oriented manner and at the same time avoid negative effects such as noise, pollutant and climate-relevant CO2 emissions as far as possible. To achieve this, we need the support of the citizens of the Stuttgart Region.

The mobility survey

After 15 years, we are once again conducting a mobility survey to obtain up-to-date information on the mobility behavior and needs of the region's citizens. It forms an important basis for updating the regional transport plan. This serves as a guideline for the future development of transport services in the Stuttgart Region, including the S-Bahn and cycling and walking.

Randomly selected households in the region are contacted to take part in our household survey. A total of around 5,000 households make up the significant sample to represent the region's population of around 2.8 million inhabitants.

Participation in the survey is voluntary and all information is treated as strictly confidential and deleted after processing.

Simply take part: online or by phone

The survey consists of two parts. The first part can be completed directly, the second will be sent to the selected citizens between May and July:

Part: Application / registration for the household survey
Part: General questions about the household and travel diary: recording the mobility behavior of all household members over the course of a week with the means of transport used, travel purposes and the destinations and times of trips
