Mobility connects people and the economy in all regions of Switzerland. At the same time, the increasing volumes of traffic also have a negative impact, affecting humans and the environment through greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants, noise, habitat fragmentation and the consumption of soil and resources. When developing transport infrastructures and services, the needs of society, the economy and the environment need to be balanced. There are significant opportunities to make transport more environmentally sustainable through the promotion of walking and cycling, shared and multi-modal mobility, improved coordination of space and transport, and eco-friendly mobility technologies based on renewable energies.
