Enkätundersökning om studenters resvanor på KTH : Vad kan göras för att främja cyklande på och till KTH Campus Valhallavägen?

Sammanfattning: Abstract This report is a part of the project Pre-study on a proactive and integrative cycling strategy for KTH. A survey about the travel habits of KTH students to and from campus was done in collaboration with Nils Brown, employee at the SEED-institution at KTH. The results from the survey are presented in this report. The main focus is cycling, reasons for why students don’t ride a bike to campus, and what actions can be made to promote more students to use bicycles as their primary transport. The purpose of the project is to find out what actions can be taken for more students to ride a bicycle to campus. The results from the survey shows that public transport is the most common transport among students both during winter and summer. About 17 percent of the surveyed students ride a bicycle to campus during summer, while 6 percent do it during the winter. Further analysis of the answers from the survey have been made to find out if there’s any connection between the travel habits and the distance from where the students live to campus. Also, to find out if the habits have got any connection to where the students lived before commenced studies at KTH. An investigation has also been made about what different actors like Stockholms Stad, Akademiska Hus and Trafikverket are doing to encourage cycling. A short literature study has been made to gather complementary information about cycling. Some information has also been gathered from scientific articles about research on what actions have been taken to increase cycling in other cities. From the survey the conclusion that better options for showering/changing rooms on campus, better mindset towards cycling together with more and safer cycle paths to campus was made. The scientific articles used for the the report also explains that good infrastructure for cycling is important to encourage it, but it’s a combination of several different factors that makes cycling more appealing.
