In the 2024 edition, the survey focuses on our travel in any mode of transport, then particularizing the motivation for the use, or non-use, of pedestrian travel, with or without limited mobility, by bicycle and public transport.
With this survey, available online, it is intended to create data collection routines that will help us to better analyze the situation of active mobility and public transport in Portugal.
All data will be anonymized and worked on by a multidisciplinary team of the organizing associations for the purpose of an annual analysis of the use of sustainable modes in Portugal and will, in April 2025, be published on the www.barometromobilidade.pt website.
Survey, which will be available until November 15, 2024, at the link: https://barometromobilidade.pt/inquerito-2024/
