Transport and Environment (T&E) and the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) decided to gauge public opinion on air pollution and mobility choices as lockdown measures ease and cities confront a commuter challenge.
Roughly two in three people (64%) surveyed do not want to go back to pre-pandemic pollution levels as they experienced good clean air.
Three quarters (74%) demand protection from air pollution, even if it means reallocating public space.
Two in three (68%) demand protection from air pollution, even if it means preventing polluting cars entering city centres.
One in five (21%) plan to cycle more; one in three (35%) to walk more after lockdown.
Among people who used public transport before the lockdown, 54% will return to use this mode if sufficient hygiene measures are taken. 27% will return regardless of the risk of contagion.
