Le abitudini del pendolarismo universitario e la propensione al cambiamento. Il caso dell'Università degli Studi dell'Insubria

To develop sustainable communities, car dominance in commuting habits and low propension to eco-friendly means, especially in small and medium towns, are problems that need an urgent solution. With the aim to map modal choices and evaluate the usage of public transit in central and suburban poles of attraction, data of the Mobility Survey of the University of Insubria are used. While cars are dominant in suburban sites (Varese), collective means have a higher usage in central sites (Como). By testing the evaluation of public transit in both cities, we confirm that free parking and low-quality collective transports are crucial factors that limit sustainable modal changes in these poles.
