The dilemma of transport policy making and the COVID-19 accelerator

Kay W. Axhausen

Transport policy is constrained by the dilemma of the positive impacts of lowering the generalised costs of travel and their today non-ignorable negative externalities. This chapter details this dilemma and discusses current policy ideas to manage and overcome it against the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel habits and work behaviour. The impacts are presented for Switzerland for which a large-scale GPS tracking survey spanning the autumn 2019 to winter 2021 period is available. The chapter concludes by highlighting the dilemma of transport policy by discussing a number of potential solutions for the future.
