Abstract:	Detrimental effects of car-based travel, such as environmental pollution and CO2 emissions, negative health effects, congestion-related problems, and the excessive use of public spaces that affects the quality of life, especially in urban areas, are increasingly motivating initiatives to reduce car dependency. A possible measure to accelerate the transition away from the current car-centric system could be to promote multimodal mobility. Multimodal mobility offers the opportunity to experience transportation options other than car directly and, in the case of positive experiences, to develop intentions to increase the use of alternatives to private car. From that point of view, a lot can be learned from multimodal travellers, especially from the car users among them. Against this background, we explore in this study the research question whether multimodality might be associated with higher intention to increase the use of public transport and shared micro-mobility solutions in the future. The study is part of a project financed by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), within which a travel planner app called MixMyRide is developed and launched. The app incorporates, in addition to traditional means of transport, such as private car, public transport, bike and foot, also shared micro-mobility solutions such as bike- and e-scooter-sharing and the possibility to offer and book carpooling service. Within the project, several surveys and workshops are planned with test persons from the agglomerations Zurich-Winterthur, Geneva and Lugano. In the course of a one year filed phase, the effect of the app on the travel behaviour of the participants will be analysed. This study focuses on the baseline survey of this project and investigates whether the intention to increase the use of public transport, bike-sharing and e-scooter-sharing (measured by the corresponding questions in the survey) varies with the level of multimodality (measured by the frequency of use of the different means of transport reported in the survey).
