Spring awakening: This is how the mobility of the Austrians changes!

With the first warm days of spring, many Austrians think about their mobility habits. According to a survey by Allianz Austria, the 1,067 people between the ages of 14 and 75, 78 % use the car for leisure excursions. Although 20 % of the respondents plan to switch to the bike or E-Scooter, the car remains the preferred means of transport-both in everyday life and in rural regions, where 32.5 % of those surveyed see hardly any alternatives. Interestingly, young people use increasingly public transport and bicycles on their way to work, while millennials and generation X rely on the car as soon as they have a driver's license, like ots.at reported.

The survey also covered risks in daily traffic: almost 60 % of those surveyed were already involved in a traffic accident. Men are affected more often than women. The accident rate in the eastern federal states of Austria is particularly high. "Our results show that many Austrians: Interior actively think about their traffic decisions," admits Daniel Matić, CEO of Allianz Austria. The Allianz is therefore committed to secure driving to promote sustainable behavior using targeted incentives.
