What is the
Mobility and Transport Microcensus?
The largest statistical survey on the mobility behaviour of Switzerland's inhabitants.
Carried out every five years since 1974.
Among other things, the results serve as a basis for the preparation and validation of policy measures in the areas of transport, spatial development, energy and the environment.
For the 2021 edition, 55 000 randomly selected people were interviewed by telephone.
The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) and the Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE) are responsible for the survey.
