Abstract: This data report describes the first wave of the RWI Climate-Mobility Panel, a recurring household survey that aims in particular to investigate individual mobility behavior and preferences with regard to mobility-related policies. It further includes information on attitudes towards environmental protection and climate change of household members in Germany as well as on socio-economic individual and household characteristics. The project was conducted by the RWI - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research and funded by Stiftung Mercator. This first survey includes data from more than 7,000 German households and was collected via forsa from April to June 2018. In combination with subsequent waves in 2019, 2022 and 2024, it is possible to monitor, for example, changes in mobility behavior and policy preferences over time. This first survey contains additional cross-sectional data on several transport-related topics, such as an assessment of the perceived costs of private car use and an experiment to assess participants' willingness to pay for public transport tickets, as well as selected psychological scales. This uniquely comprehensive dataset serves as a support to enable novel research and evidence-based policy decisions in the context of the mobility and transport transition.
