Focus on personal mobility. Various important societal trends, including aging, immigration, individualization and re-urbanization, influence the mobility of Dutch people. In future, these trends will lead to further (yet slowing) growth in car use, to public transport being used less in rural regions and more in urban areas, and to bicycle use claiming a smaller share of total mobility. In 'Focus on personal mobility', the Kim Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis focuses on the five most important societal trends for determining how mobility develops in the Netherlands. The report, which is supported by charts, reveals how these trends will impact the use of cars, public transport and bicycles in the medium-term (2020) and long-term (2040). (Author/publisher)
