Groningen Travel Mode Share Projections for 2000 and 2010

55% of daily trips in Groningen in 2000 were by bicycle, 40% by car, and 5% by public transport. The dataset contains projections for 2010, anticipating a shift to 45% bicycle, 52% car, and 3% public transport use. It was published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations to support municipal policy aimed at reducing car traffic growth.

Use Cases

• Modeling future urban traffic patterns based on projected mode share percentages.
• Evaluating the impact of policy interventions on bicycle and public transport usage.
• Benchmarking municipal transportation goals against historical and forecasted data.

Strengths

• Provides specific, quantified percentages for three major travel modes for two distinct years (2000 and 2010).
• Explicitly states the policy context and goal of the Municipality of Groningen to curb car traffic growth.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data freshness is unverified as the last update date is unknown.
