The queen car of the Romans’ movements

ROMA – Predictably, the private car remains the preferred means of transport for the Romans even after the pandemic. The confirmation comes from the survey just presented by the Automobile Club Roma and carried out in collaboration with the Filippo Caracciolo Foundation of Aci, in which 82% of the interviewees stated that they will continue to move by car. The survey is the result of the processing of the responses of a sample made up of 1,200 members of the Automobile Club, with reference to three different periods: January 2020 (before the pandemic), May 2021 (possible post-emergency period) and, finally, in an ideal future scenario. Going into the details of the comparison of the periods examined, the primary role of public transport in combination with bicycles and scooters in the mobility of tomorrow stands out. On the other hand, buses and trams were the preferred means of transport for 29% of Romans before the pandemic: their consensus dropped to 26.5% in spring 2021, also due to the risks of crowding on vehicles, but in an ideal future they could become the first choice of mobility for 35.6% of Romans, especially if they are able to satisfy the demand in qualitative and quantitative terms. The fears of the users of the public transport service were not unjustified and the presence of the Covid-19 virus was detected by the special Nas group of the carabinieri on board the public transport of the capital. Switching to bicycles and scooters, there is a significant increase: 10% of the population chooses them to move in May 2021 (in January 2021 they were 4.3%), and in the hypothetical ideal future they could rise in the preferences of one in four citizens . And again in the scenario of the movements of tomorrow, in the face of a substantial stability of consents for motorbikes and mopeds (about 15%), and of those who prefer to move even on foot (about 30%), the use of the car could drop to 59%.

The survey by the Caracciolo Foundation also provides an overview of the willingness to renovate the Capitoline vehicle fleet: 83% of respondents state that they will not buy a car in 2021, while among those who are in the process of replacing their vehicle, the 75% will choose a new vehicle. At the top of the consensus we find hybrid cars with 44%, while petrol, diesel and LPG fueling each reach 15% of approval. The costs considered too high and the scarce availability of charging stations penalize fully electric cars which currently convince only 6.4% of the sample of respondents, and the methane supply does not even take off, which stops at 3.5% of the respondents. purchasing propensities. Finally, the analysis of urban mobility focuses on the effects of smart working on our lives and highlights that 70% of Romans worked agile during the lockdown and 56.7% of citizens believe that this mode will remain prevalent in the future. , albeit alternating with the presence in the offices. “The survey highlights a conservative trend of the Romans in terms of mobility – said Giuseppina Fusco, president of the Automobile Club Roma and of the Filippo Caracciolo Foundation – awaiting the hoped-for evolution of the transport system towards intelligent and sustainable urban mobility, collective, shared and individual, based on a more efficient modal integration. An evolution that could be favored by a greater structural diffusion of agile work and by the progressive development of on-demand mobility “. (mr)
