The Federal Council proposes clear regulations as well as efficient use of transport areas. The legislation for touristic electric bicycle use should be adapted, too.

They come to ETH Zurich almost daily by bike or e-​bike. Three ETH transport researchers are investigating how an e-​bike-friendly city works. They are also committed to a safe, sustainable, and CO₂-​reducing campus mobility at ETH Zurich.

Cities are characterised by pluralism. This fact is becoming increasingly relevant in the practice of urban governance and planning.

Professor Kay Axhausen explains how electric vehicles might change our transport behaviour. Or how they might enable breakthroughs for new mobility concepts, too.
