The topic of mobility is a central ongoing task in the state capital Stuttgart. Other major cities such as Málaga and Copenhagen are leading the way: The inner cities are traffic-calmed and thus increase the quality of life. Stuttgart has also been thinking, planning and developing in this direction for years.
Mobility concepts steer the projects. The 2030 transport development concept adopted by the city council in 2014 defined the guidelines and strategies for the course of transport planning in Stuttgart. The 2023 action plan "Sustainable and innovative mobility in Stuttgart" includes plans to further promote non-motorized transport, expand local public transport and establish more bicycle lanes in the coming years.
Stuttgart combines mobility options
Because Stuttgart can do more than just automobility - the state capital has the potential in terms of people, research and expertise to break new ground in mobility. A crucial point is the sensible combination of different offers, such as cars, bicycles, car sharing and car pools. The city is also looking beyond its own borders and is exchanging ideas on the topic of "new mobility" with major cities around the world.
Promotion of commercial e-cargo bikes
Can electric cargo bikes be a sustainable addition to the fleets of companies and businesses in Stuttgart? The city of Stuttgart is investigating this question with the "flottes Gewerbe" program, which promotes the commercial use of cargo bikes, offering selected companies and businesses in the city the opportunity to use an electric cargo bike free of charge and test it in everyday operations. In addition, the aim is to support those involved in commercial transport in switching to more sustainable business mobility.
