SO32 Eco Mobility

Key Information

Summary

To achieve climate goals and to support alternative and environmentally friendly mobility, a lot of  locally limited solutions in electromobility have already been implemented in the programm area. Many local and regional initiatives are being planned or already initiated in order to force cross border infrastructure and mobility. The overall project goal includes the improvement of multimodal networking of transport modes in the project area Burgenland and Western Hungary. To achieve this goal measures and strategies for sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility in the programm area will be developed. The main outputs are an e-mobility strategy, focussing on intermodality and the conversion of the railwaystations Wulkaprodersdorf and Fertöszentmiklos to improve the framework for intermodality and e-mobility.  Additional feasibility studies about the use of alternative powerunits in bus- and railtransport  will be prepared. These studies will include the coditions for the energy industry. The project provides a comprehensive consideration of the development and promotion of alternative forms of mobility in the border region Burgenland and West Hungary.

Summary

The cross-border mobility in almost all macro-regions of the programme area faces with considerable challenges:

• In the northern part of the programme area (between the western and the north-western part of Győr-Moson-Sopron county and North-Burgenland) there is a significant commuter traffic, which does not use decisively the sustainable mobility solutions.


• At the same place, with the centres of Lake Neusiedl-Seewinkel and Sopron there can be also found touristic magnets motivating considerable crowd.


• At the same time, worse access conditions are characteristic for the southern regions of the programme area on the both sides of the border.

Some of these challenges listed above can be managed only in a cross-border way. Therefore, the key objective of the project is to develop efficient and sustainable, common cross-border transport cooperation in order to strengthen sustainable mobility both on local and on regional levels as well.

The main outputs of the project – i.e. cross-border transport platform connecting service providers, solutions facilitating smart mobility, intermodal cycling measures and cross-border railway planning activities – have significant added value for the entire population of the programme area and for almost all travellers. They increase the sustainable interoperability of the border region, which has an important multiplicative economic impact.

The problem of sustainable mobility can be managed only in a cross-border way in regard to the highly integrated economy because the problems described above of this integrated space can be solved only in an integrated way, i.e. managed in a cross-border way.

The innovative approach of the project is signified by establishing the cooperation between the community service providers and decision makers (transport platform) in a cross-border way, which is based on decades of experience in this field of the Viennese project partner VOR.
