About our research
The roads and streets in the region Brainport are crowded. This is bad for nature and economic growth. Therefore we, TU/e, Fontys and Summa, want to encourage students to make greener and more sustainable future mobility choices. The research question is how can we, as educational institutions, make student travel behavior more sustainable.
Therefore we need insight into students' current travel behavior and the motivation and reasons behind the choices taken. This research gives us the information needed. Based on the results, we will advise the government program of Brainport Bereikbaar and the involved educational institutions on future policies and interventions aimed at making student mobility in the region Brainport more sustainable.
