Brandenburg's mobility 2030: Cycling in the focus for safe way to school!
Brandenburg's Transport Minister Detlef Tabbert has outlined ambitious goals for local transport in the state by 2030. In office since December 2024, he sees both successes and challenges in the field of traffic safety and mobility development. The number of accidents in Brandenburg has dropped by a third since the 1990s, but the recent past has shown an increase in road dead and bike accidents. To protect children and adolescents, Tabbert has launched the project "Little Adler for Safe School Paths" to improve the safety in road traffic and reduce the dangers.
Brandenburg has 2400 kilometers of cycle paths that ran along 8200 kilometers of state and federal roads. As part of the mobility strategy, the goal is to be able to reach a metropolis from any point in the country within two hours by 2030. In this context, the Ministry plans a new design of the bicycle traffic strategy in order to create a safe and attractive bicycle traffic network that supports everyday traffic in particular. "The concerns of cycling are important to us," explains Tabbert and announces that the revision of the 2030 mobility strategy will play a central role in order to take into account the objectives of the coalition agreement. maz-online.de also reports that an additional 20 million euros annually planned for bike traffic are.
promotion of cycling
The state government has clearly known to promote cycling. This was not only anchored in the coalition agreement, but also through concrete measures such as the introduction of a cargo bike bonus that was continued in 2021 and 2022 to support transport with cargo bikes. This initiative aims to improve the quality of life through environmentally friendly means of transport. The retrofitting of turning assistants to increase traffic safety for cycling in critical situations is also promoted. mil.brandenburg.de emphasizes that the implementation of these measures should contribute to the increase in the share of the environmental association to 60% by 2030.
Nationwide, the national cycling schedule 3.0 (NRVP 3.0) is considered a mission statement for cycling funding, which is valid until 2030 and pursues the vision of making Germany a bicycle. The Federal Ministry of Transport, represented by Volker Wissing, sees itself in the role of a moderator and impulse giver for cycling promotion. The goal is to ensure high traffic safety in both urban and rural areas and to reduce the number of fatal accidents. vditz.de reports that the strategy includes four central columns: promoting bicycle traffic through politics, a well-planned cycling infrastructure, safety in bicycle traffic and a growing role of bicycle industry. In summary, it can be said that future traffic and cycling policy in Brandenburg is clearly geared towards security, innovation and sustainability. Despite the various challenges, a focus on improving the infrastructure and increasing security for all road users is a central point for the coming years.| Details | |
