As part of the MobilKULT project, we are investigating the connections between infrastructures, mobility habits, mobility culture and policy measures. In doing so, we are contributing to a better understanding of the possibilities and limitations of a mobility transition. We collect the data every six months using surveys in the German states of Baden-Württemberg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The second round of the survey has now been completed and the first results are available.
