background and goals of the competition

The competition is not only a fun occasion, but also part of the broader efforts for sustainable mobility. As different studies show, traffic in Germany can be held responsible for around a fifth of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve the climate goals, emissions must be drastically reduced by 2030. This also includes a turnaround in traffic that not only relies on environmentally friendly means of transportation, but also leads to an improvement in the quality of life, as sustainable mobility concepts intend Goslar-institut explained.

Digital data also plays an important role. The evaluation of mobility data can provide new knowledge about traffic behavior and help to promote cycling and to design environmentally friendly solutions. Positive effects could not only target climate protection, but also increase safety and comfort in road traffic. Ultimately, this gives citizens through such initiatives the opportunity to actively contribute to reducing emissions BPB does not draw any shyness

Next steps for the traffic transition

The turnover of the traffic itself is not an easy undertaking. A clear plan and a rethink are required to establish sustainable mobility on a broad front. The Federal Government plans to double passenger numbers in rail traffic by 2030, while the expansion of public transport is also promoted. In addition, a transformation of the mobility industry is urgently needed to reduce the negative effects of motorized private transport BPB .
