Bonn on the way to sustainable mobility: New study shows progress

More and more people in Bonn on foot, by bike or public transport

in Bonn is a clear trend towards sustainable mobility. According to a current study by the Federal Ministry of Transport, the proportion of environmentally friendly means of transport in the city has increased by 11 percentage points. In the meantime, almost three out of four people cover their ways on foot, by bike or by public transport. This development is not only important locally, but also sets Bonn far ahead compared to other medium -sized cities in Germany.

positive changes in mobility behavior

The latest mobility report shows that 71 percent of all ways in Bonn are now being covered in an environmentally friendly way. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic benefits from this. The proportion of footpaths has increased by four percentage points to 32 percent, while cycling has increased from 15 to 21 percent. Local public transport also has a stable share at 18 percent. In contrast, the proportion of car traffic has dropped to 30 percent.

infrastructure projects and measures

The city of Bonn has taken various measures to support this positive development. For example, a lot has been invested in barrier -free footpaths and safe cycling routes in recent years. Future projects such as the east-west axis for cycling and the new bus station are planned to further increase the attractiveness of mobility. These infrastructure projects are considered significantly to achieve the goals set by 2030, in which three out of four are to be covered in the long term.

comparison with other cities

In a nationwide comparison, the development in Bonn is particularly striking. In contrast to many other cities, where mobility behavior has hardly changed, the switch to environmentally friendly transport in Bonn is clearly noticeable. This trend is considered an incentive by the authorities to implement further improvements in the infrastructure and to expand the mobility offer.

outlook for the future

The city of Bonn strives to further improve the framework conditions for sustainable mobility. Planned projects such as the new foot and bike bridge at the Bonn-West stop and various measures to strengthen public transport are steps in the right direction. Overall, the positive development shows that citizens are increasingly using environmentally friendly mobility forms and that the city is willing to provide them with the necessary infrastructure.
