Jörg Paetzold (PLUS) receives SNSF Research Exchange Grant to study the effects of free public transport on the mobility behavior of the population.

In a current research project Jörg Paetzold is investigating the extent to which free public transport can help to facilitate a switch from individual transport (e.g. cars) to public transport (e.g. bus or rail). The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is supporting this study with a research grant, which will enable Jörg Paetzold to present his findings at a symposium at the University of California (Irvine) and to cooperate with the research group based there.
