Der Schweizer Verkehr verursacht gesellschaftliche Kosten in der Höhe von rund 20 Milliarden Franken pro Jahr\, in der Form von Klimas chäden\, Stau und Gesundheitsfolgen. Diese Kosten sind in den momentanen Preisen von Mobilität nicht berücksichtigt und folglich auch nicht gedec kt. In seinem Vortrag präsentiert Beat Hintermann Resultate aus drei Feld experimenten in der Schweiz\, die untersuchen\, wie das individuelle Verke hrsverhalten auf unterschiedliche Instrumente reagiert\, welche das Ziel h aben\, die externen Kosten zu senken. Seine Studien basieren auf GPS-Daten von rund 8‘000 Teilnehmenden und kombinieren monetäre und nicht-monet äre Ansätze. Die Resultate zeigen Wege auf\, wie gezielte Bepreisung von Verkehr zu einem nachhaltigeren Verkehrsverhalten führen kann.
