Abstract :
[en] Faced with the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and fair access to jobs, it’s of interest to report on daily commuting and, in particular, the use of different modes of transport, especially in the Luxembourg context where reliance on the private car is historically and culturally important. Here, we explore the length, duration and modes of commuting for the employed, as reported in the 2021 census. We also attempt to identify any significant changes in travel practices since 2011, given Lux- embourg’s significant demographic growth. In 2021, the car remains by far the main mode of daily commuting. However, there are significant differences across the territory: travel varies according to place of residence, and therefore mainly according to the socio-demographic characteristics of the different locations.
