Switzerland’s future mobility integrates sustainable technologies, smart infrastructure, and innovative transportation solutions, fostering efficiency, environmental consciousness, and a connected, accessible transportation ecosystem for all.
Modal Shift
Refers to the change or transition in the choice of transportation modes individuals use for their daily commuting and travel.
Diverse Modes
It involves shifting from one mode of transportation, such as private cars, to more sustainable alternatives like public transit, walking, cycling, or carpooling.
Sustainability Focus
The primary goal of modal shift is to reduce reliance on environmentally impactful transportation modes, promoting more sustainable and eco-friendly options.
Traffic and Emissions Reduction
By encouraging modal shift, cities aim to alleviate traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, and create more efficient and environmentally conscious transportation systems.
Infrastructure Development
Successful modal shift often requires investments in infrastructure, including public transit networks, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and cycling lanes, to make alternative modes more accessible and attractive.
Soft Mobility
Promotes sustainable and human-powered modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, within urban environments, fostering environmentally conscious and health-promoting commuting options.
Human-Powered Transportation
Soft mobility emphasizes non-motorized and human-powered modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling.
Sustainable Transport
It promotes environmentally friendly and sustainable means of getting around, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and a healthier planet.
Urban Design
Soft mobility is closely linked to urban planning that prioritizes pedestrian-friendly environments, dedicated bike lanes, and public spaces designed to encourage walking and cycling.
Health and Well-being
Choosing soft mobility options supports healthier lifestyles by incorporating physical activity into daily routines, contributing to improved personal health and well-being.
Community Engagement
Soft mobility fosters a sense of community by creating spaces where people can interact, fostering social connections, and enhancing the overall quality of urban life.
Modal shift and soft mobility redefine transportation, promoting sustainable choices and creating a greener, healthier urban landscape.
Electricity-based mobility sparks a green revolution, transforming transportation with sustainable, emission-free options for a cleaner future.
