Survey on modes of transport in Ile-de-France: "The car remains the first motorized mode" And "cycling has established itself in Paris"
“The car remains the primary motorized mode, but at the same time public transport is widely used. Cycling is growing a lot, cycling has established itself in Paris”after Covid, declared Nicolas Bauquet, general director of the Paris Region Institute, interviewed Thursday April 4 on franceinfo.
With Ile-de-France Mobilités, SNCF and RATP, the Paris Region Institute carried out a vast investigation on the movements of Ile-de-France residents. More than 3,300 volunteers agreed to have a GPS unit record their movements for six months. This survey confirms the development of teleworking and therefore, “Today we have a much more à la carte use of transport which plays on intermodalities. Today we are documenting what we anticipated”indicated Nicolas Bauquet.
franceinfo: What struck you the most in this post-Covid survey, which trips have changed the most among Ile-de-France residents?
Nicolas Bauquet: We absolutely needed to take a new photograph because a lot happened after Covid. To really design mobility policies we need to know what is happening and so we invented this device, 3,300 Ile-de-France residents played the game. We were able to follow them for a week each to get this new photograph. There is in particular the development of teleworking, more than two days for those who telework, on Monday and Friday, 40% of executives are teleworking. We also see that we have three times more trips between Ile-de-France and outside Ile-de-France on Fridays, this is the proof we were looking for of the fact that after the pandemic we really have a change in mode of travel which is a change in lifestyle.
