RWI Climate-Mobility-Panel
The survey conducted between April and June 2018, which constitutes the first wave of the “RWI Climate-Mobility Panel”, is now available as a dataset. In combination with subsequent waves in 2019, 2022 and 2024, it is possible to monitor, for example, changes in mobility behavior and policy preferences over time. This survey contains additional cross-sectional data on several transportation-related topics, such as an assessment of the perceived costs of private car use and an experiment to assess participant’s willingness to pay for public transport tickets, as well as selected psychological scales. The main aspects of the survey were information on personal mobility behaviour, attitudes towards climate change and transport policy measures, assessment of barriers to public transport use and an integrated experiment on willingness to pay for public transport and estimation of car costs.
Futher waves of the RWI Climate-Mobility Pane will be made available to researchers by the FDZ Ruhr over time. The data from the first survey from 2018 is currently available.
The data sets are available free of charge for scientific purposes as a Scientific Use File (SUF) Off-site. For information on data access, please follow this link.
