BMUB: Bicycle or car key? New project on climate-friendly mobility in the residential environment

How can people be helped to leave their cars behind more often for short journeys? Answers to this question are to be provided by a new project funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment. The project "Living Leads Mobility" aims to create new opportunities and offers for climate-friendly mobility in the residential environment.

In up to five metropolitan regions, it aims to show tenants in particular attractive options for leaving their cars at home more often, switching to alternatives and thus doing something for climate protection and their own health.

Do I take the bike key or the car key? Mobility decisions for short journeys in the neighbourhood usually follow habit. With the new project "Living leads mobility", the project partners want to develop practicable and climate-friendly alternatives. By providing various mobility options directly at the place of residence, the aim is to increase choice and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. The offers include, for example, the installation of secure parking facilities for bicycles, walking frames and pushchairs, the establishment of a car-sharing station in the residential area or the simple posting of a bus timetable on the notice board of the residential complex. In practice, this means close cooperation between housing companies, local authorities and mobility service providers. Decision-makers receive information on suitable measures and advice on implementation issues. In a comprehensive guide, housing companies learn how to implement measures to promote mobility.

realise sustainable mobility. And tenants receive information and tips on climate-friendly mobility behaviour.

The joint project will be funded over the next three years with a total of around 1.1 million euros from the National Climate Initiative (NKI). The project partners are the German Ecological Transport Association (VCD) as project coordinator, the Öko-Institut and the German Tenants' Association (DMB). Companies and local authorities interested in taking part can contact us by email at Rainer.Hauck@vcd.org.
