The mobility survey will be carried out at the "Friedrich List" Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, under the leadership of the Chair of Mobility System Planning, where the results will then be evaluated and compared with previous surveys. In the long term, such a survey should take place regularly, approximately every 3–5 years.

The survey aims to better understand the mobility needs and experiences of university members and to further optimize the already good accessibility of the TUD.

The survey examines the following key questions, among others:

• Which means of transportation do employees and students use to reach the TUD every day and why do they choose exactly these?
• What individual requirements and framework conditions do employees and students have for their mobility behavior?
• Can characteristic patterns in mobility behavior be identified and how does mobility at the TUD develop over time?
• What are the specific requirements for action and how do employees and students feel about potential mobility-related measures at the TUD?

The survey focuses on the mobility behavior of university members, i.e. their journeys to the university, the challenges they face and where there is still room for improvement.

• Choice of means of transportation on the way to university
• Seasonal differences in mobility behavior
• Changes in mobility behavior
• Residential location situation
• Influence of working from home and digital teaching on presence on campus
• Vehicle availability and access to transportation
• Use of public transport
• Reasons for and obstacles to using different means of transport
• Germany ticket as a job and semester ticket
• Sharing offers
• Parking situation on campus

The content of the mobility survey ensures a high degree of comparability with the data from previous surveys and thus enables, among other things, the evaluation of time series comparisons for the years 2008, 2018, 2022 and 2025. The survey is intended to provide a balanced analysis of all modes of transport.
