Verband Region Stuttgart: Mobility

Mobility in the region

How can I get to work? How does my package arrive at my house? How can my granny and granddad visit me at the weekend? Functioning mobility provides an answer to all of these questions. It has lots of different target groups and even more parts that need to turn together like cogs in a wheel. This is one of the biggest strategic challenges for the Stuttgart Region.

Verband Region Stuttgart is responsible for two of the main pillars for functioning mobility in the Stuttgart Region:

Regional transport plan

The important basis

The regional transport plan serves as an important basis for transport planning. It sets the guidelines for future-oriented transport development. The regional transport plan takes all transport systems into account.

Transport management

Using targeted information for a multi-pronged approach, it is possible to:

Connect cars, buses and trains
Encourage car sharing and pedelecs
Develop and agree on multi-modal transport strategies

These are all aspects of regional transport management. A high-performing passenger transport system in the Stuttgart Region must exploit the potential of motorised transport, public transport, non-motorised transport and sharing models. Consequently, Verband Region Stuttgart is looking into how to improve intermodal transport options in order to maintain the efficiency of the region’s passenger transport without additional environmental burdens. More and more, people are using more than one means of transport to complete a journey, so they need attractive and convenient ways of switching between different means of transport to meet their mobility requirements. Specific implementation of the tasks of Verband Region Stuttgart takes the form of:

Mobility Platform

Under the term “Regional Mobility Platform”, a process was launched in 2017 to increase the efficiency of the road network without structural expansion, but through traffic management measures.

Mobility Points

If you want to promote public transport, you have to create attractive access options. After all, mobility works best outside the big cities when it is possible to switch smoothly between different modes of transport.

Park + Ride

For the Verband Region Stuttgart, Park and Ride (P+R) is an important building block in connecting mobility.
