Rems-Murr district rejects mobility tax – transport remains free!
The Rems-Murr district is not planning a mobility tax that could enable an improvement in local public transport.
Rems-Murr district rejects mobility tax – transport remains free!
The Rems-Murr district has decided not to introduce a mobility tax. This decision was reached after considering various aspects of the tax and its potential impact. The mobility tax could have offered drivers and all residents a ticket for local public transport. The income from this tax should be reinvested in the expansion and improvement of public transport services. According to ZVW, the levy would have given the Rems-Murr district the opportunity to raise several million euros, which could have resulted in a significant upgrade of public transport.
But why doesn't the Rems-Murr circle believe in this idea? The decision against the mobility tax is causing discussions among residents. Some believe that such a planned levy could significantly encourage the use of public transport. The aim was to improve the region's transport infrastructure. However, the decision could currently be postponed indefinitely as it may be reconsidered in the future.
Future of the mobility tax
It remains exciting to see what the future holds for the mobility tax in the Rems-Murr district. More and more regions are experimenting with similar concepts for financing public transport. In Salzburger Land, for example, a mobility tax was introduced from May 1, 2025, charging overnight guests 0.50 euros per night. From 2027, this amount is expected to rise to 1.10 euros. There is a free mobility ticket for guests aged 6 and over, while children under 6 can travel for free. These fees finance the entire local public transport system in the Salzburg transport association Alpine Host.
In the discussion about the mobility tax, it becomes clear that cities and municipalities are faced with the challenge of making public transport sustainable and increasing the quality of stay for all citizens. These changes could also become more relevant in the Rems-Murr district in the coming years, especially if the demand for efficient and environmentally friendly transport continues to increase.
In the meantime, it is important for residents to stay informed about current developments and possible changes to public transportation. This means you can prepare now to make the best possible decisions for your mobility.
