3 1 Parameters for transport Passenger transport is growing faster than the population Permanent resident population 7.95 m End 211 Increase in the resident population 1% GDP (real) CHF 587 bn 211 Change in GDP (real) +21% Change in passenger transport prices +11% Change in goods transport prices +14% April 21 Oct. 212 The central transport parameters include demographic and economic development. At the end of 211, around 8 million people lived in Switzerland one tenth more than in 2. As a measure for economic performance, the gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 21% over the same period. National and international economic interdependence also increased. These factors led to an increase in the volume of transport. The amount of passenger traffic also depends on the distances between place of residence and place of work and the location of shops. In goods transport, the increasing division of labour and the concentration of production on fewer and fewer locations influence transport volumes. The price paid for the various transport modes also has a role.

While the number of enterprises in land transport fell slightly between 21 and 28, the number of air and water transport enterprises grew as did that of other service providers in the transport sector. The total number of employees (full-time equivalent) rose by 8% between 21 and 28 to just over 139,.

Around three quarters of them are private cars. Statistically speaking, therefore, one person in two owns a car; whereby the vehicle density varies depending on the canton. Moreover, for some time a trend towards four-wheel drive vehicles and diesel-powered vehicles has been observed. There has been a particularly strong increase in motorcycles: their number has almost quintupled since 198. In 21, 69% of all households owned at least one bicycle.

11 6 Use of means of transport Passenger transport by rail shows strongest increase Kilometre performance of private motor vehicle traffic 53,591 m veh.-km 211 Average occupancy of passenger cars 1.6 pers. 21 Kilometre performance of road transport of goods Domestic transport as a percentage of heavy road transport of goods Takeoffs and landings in scheduled and charter air traffic 6,63 m veh.-km % , Traffic jams on highways 19,921 hours 212 Mobility needs can be met in various ways. The choice of transport means and vehicle occupancy influences road and rail traffic and affects the impact on infrastructure and environment. In passenger transport, transport performance by rail has increased by 4% since 1995 and by road (private motor vehicles) by 25%. The kilometre performance of road transport as a whole also increased by 25% over the same period. In heavy goods transport, there was a shift towards semi-trailers. The development of air transport can be gauged more easily on the basis of takeoffs and landings in Swiss airports instead of covered distances. The reason for this is that scheduled and charter traffic originating and terminating in Switzerland largely involves routes over foreign territory. Movements at the three national airports (Zurich, Geneva and Basel-Mulhouse) more than doubled between 197 and 212.

12 Kilometre performance or transport performance? Kilometre performance is measured in vehicle-, train- or timetable-kilometres and is useful for gauging the impact on infrastructure and environment. This would hardly be possible with the transport performance indicator, measured in person- or tonne-kilometres, because a particular transport performance, depending on the occupancy and load, is achieved with a varying number of vehicles. Transport performance does, however, show the demand for mobility as well as the services actually provided by the transport system.

This represents an increase of 19% compared to 2. 74% of transport performance in 211 was accounted for by private motorised transport, 2% by public transport and 6% by non-motorised transport (by foot and by bicycle). In 212, Swiss airports and regional airports registered a total of 44 million passengers in scheduled and charter flights (local and transfer passengers), 29% more than in 2.

The daily distances (66% in 21) are largely covered by private motorised transport. Leisure activities account for the main trip purpose with 4% of distances, followed by commutes to work with 24%. In a comparison of population groups, men, young people aged between 18 and 24 and residents of rural communities cover the longest daily distances. Typically, one and a half hours every day are spent on travel. On average, Swiss residents undertake 2.4 trips with overnight stays per person per year. After Switzerland, the most popular destinations are the neighbouring countries Germany, Italy and France. The total distance covered by a person resident in Switzerland during trips within Switzerland and abroad in 21 added up to around 2,5 km on average. This is equivalent to half the distance around the world.

20 9 Goods transport performance The share of goods transport by rail has considerably decreased since 198 Goods transport performance 27.7 bn t-km 211 Change +9% Rail transport share 37% 211 Transalpine trips by heavy goods vehicles (through Switzerland) 1.21 m 212 Change +287% Rail share of goods transport in trans alpine goods transport (through Switzerland) 63% 212 In 211, the goods transport performance amounted to around 27.7 billion tonnekilometres. The highest previously recorded value was 28.2 billion tonne-kilometres in 28. Up to 211, goods transport did not completely manage to recover from the decrease following the financial and economic crisis. If the entire period from 198 to 211 is considered, transport performance increased by 9%. The rail share of goods transport fell from 53% to 37%. The number of transalpine trips through Switzerland by heavy goods vehicles increased fivefold between the opening of the Gotthard tunnel in 1981 and the year 2. Since 21, the values have decreased slightly. In 212, a total of 37.5 million net tonnes of goods were transported by road and rail over Swiss alpine passes; 63% by rail. Its share in transalpine transport has decreased since 1981 but is still considerably greater than in Austria and France.

This downward trend is due to technical, legal and educational reasons. However, the coach accident in Sierre (VS) on 13 March 212 led to an increase in the number of road deaths compared to the previous year. Since 197, the percentage of persons seriously injured in road traffic has fallen almost as much as that of people killed. Slight injuries in road traffic showed a different trend: Their number has also fallen since 23, but had been rising for a long time before that year. Accidents with killed and injured occur much more rarely in other transport modes. In the case of railways, they mainly involve persons trespassing on railway property.

26 11 Energy consumption and effects on environment Transport consumes more energy than the household Transport s share of energy consumption (final consumption) 36% 211 Transport s share of CO 2 emissions 38% 211 Growth rate of transport s CO 2 emissions 12% The benefit of mobility (Chapters 7 to 9) comes at the cost of undesirable effects. Apart from accidents, these also include the use of scarce energy resources as well as noise, air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Transport accounts for 36% of domestic energy sales. It is therefore the largest energy consumer group, ahead of the households and industry. As 96% of transport energy requirements are covered by petroleum products, its share of total petroleum consumption is as high as 65%. A large proportion of air pollution and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) comes from the road and air transport. Road transport is also the main source of nitrogen oxide (NO X ), a precursor substance of low-level ozone and a contributory cause of acid rain. Road transport also releases large amounts of health-damaging particulate matter (PM1, see info box on the right). Thanks to technological advances such as diesel-particulate filters and catalytic converters, air pollutant emissions caused by transport have been markedly reduced in recent years. However, the limit values set for nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and fine particulate matter are in some cases still being greatly exceeded.

These can penetrate deep into the lungs and lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The carcinogenic components of emission from diesel engines are particularly harmful. 27

28 12 Costs The costs of road transport are about six times that of rail transport Passenger transport Costs of private road transport CHF 51.3 bn 25 Costs of public passenger transport CHF 9 bn 25 Goods transport Costs of goods transport by road CHF 16.3 bn 25 Costs of goods transport by rail CHF 2 bn 25 The economic costs of road and rail transport, that is the actual sums paid by causers, the state or third parties, as well as the non-monetary costs such as damage to the environment and noise, totalled CHF 82 billion in 25. In comparison, the GDP then stood at CHF 479 billion. Thus, the costs of mobility exceeded those of, for example, health care or the public education system. Road transport accounted for about six times more than rail transport of the total mobility costs of CHF 82 billion. Over a tenth of the total costs were external costs that were borne by people other than the causers (see info box on the right). 9% of these costs were caused by road transport.

29 External costs of transport People choose their mode of transport on the basis of the cost they have to bear themselves (fuel, maintenance and depreciation of their own vehicles, the price of tickets and season tickets, payments to transport companies). However, the so-called external costs, which are borne by third parties (often the community as a whole), are not taken into account. These include in particular the consequential costs in the form of damage to the environment and health, as well as damage to buildings and loss in value. In passenger transport, travelling with one s own car causes many more external costs than travelling by public transport. The same applies to goods transport by road compared with rail. Most transport in Switzerland is by road. The result is transport structures which impose great burdens on the community and do not achieve an economic optimum.

30 GLOSSARY Daily distance Average distance travelled per person per day in Switzerland. External costs Costs which are not borne by the causer but by other users or by the general public (inter alia: part of the costs of accidents, noise, airpollution etc.). Goods transport performance Variable to describe performance in goods transport, which takes account both of weight of goods and the distance they are transported. The transport distance is expressed in tonne-kilometres, a tonne-kilometre referring to the transport of one tonne over one kilometre. International economic interdependence Average value of imports and exports of goods and/or services as a percentage of GDP. Kilometre performance Distance covered by vehicles within a specific period of time. Kilometre performance is specified in vehicle kilometres (veh.-km), train or timetable kilometres. Local passengers An airport s local passengers start or end their flight at the relevant airport. Means of transport group Inclusion of different means of transport in the categories of public, private and nonmotorised traffic. Modal split Distribution of transport service among various transport modes (e.g. road, rail). Non-motorised traffic On foot, bicycle. Person-kilometres Unit used to measure the transport performance where one passenger-kilometre is a kilometre travelled by one person. Tonnne-kilometres, tkm Unit used to measure the transport performance which refers to the transport of one tonne over one kilometre. This is calculated including the weight of the packaging directly surrounding the goods. Unless otherwise specified, the weight of the vehicle and transport containers is not considered. Transport mode Infrastructure or the mediums by which means of transport move (road, rail, water, air). Transport modes are also used to group the means of transport. Transport performance Total distance covered by persons in one year, measured in kilometres per person. Transfer passengers An airport s transfer passengers are in transit and continue their journey with another flight. These passengers are counted twice, once on arrival and again on departure. 3
