City conducts survey on transport habits among 5000 local households
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the city of Bergisch Gladbach is embarking on an important initiative to understand the mobility behaviour of its residents. The city, in collaboration with engineering firm Helmert from Aachen, is conducting a comprehensive mobility survey.
The aim of this survey is to provide insights into the modal split, or the distribution of all routes among different means of transport. By gathering key data on the choice of means of transport, the purpose of mobility, and traffic relationships within the city and with the surrounding area, the survey aims to offer a reliable and representative determination of the modal split.
The survey is set to run from mid-September to the start of the autumn holidays. Participation is open to all, and residents can complete the questionnaire via digital means, paper questionnaire, or telephone interview. The city is encouraging residents to participate, as the information gathered will serve as a valuable basis for future traffic planning in Bergisch Gladbach.
The survey will query the mobility behaviour of all household members for a specific reference day. To ensure anonymity, the data will be anonymized by aggregating the information on the starting point and destination of routes at the level of statistical districts. The modal split includes data on pedestrian, cyclist, and public transport usage.
The city is particularly concerned with promoting environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as walking, biking, and public transit. The results of the survey, expected after mid-October 2025, will provide valuable information about the sustainability of the city's traffic system.
Residents who wish to participate in the survey can look forward to receiving an invitation in mid-September. The final report on the survey will be available at www.bergischgladbach.de/umfrage.
It's important to note that this is not the first time Bergisch Gladbach has conducted such a survey. The last data collected in this way dates back to the year 2014. The city hopes that the insights gained from this survey will help shape a more sustainable and efficient traffic system for its residents.
The survey is a part of a local news digest that is published every morning at 7:07 AM and can be ordered for free. For those interested in staying informed about the city's initiatives, this digest is a great resource.
In conclusion, the mobility survey in Bergisch Gladbach is a significant step towards understanding and improving the city's traffic system. Residents are encouraged to participate and contribute to a more sustainable future for the city.
