Rural Mobility in Focus: Research and Politics Discuss Future Concepts
The central challenge of mobility in rural areas affects a considerable 36 percent of the population living in Germany, who reside on 80 percent of the total area in rural regions. The DVWG event took place at the Representation of Saarland to the Federal Government in Berlin and aimed to promote an interdisciplinary exchange between scientists, political decision-makers, and practitioners to develop sustainable solutions for the aforementioned challenge.
People's mobility is not only an economic factor, but also a societal one. Mobility enables participation, is a cornerstone of democracy, and a fundamental component of a livable society.
"Quality of life in rural areas largely depends on mobility. Without good connections to workplaces, educational institutions, and healthcare, entire regions are at risk of becoming disconnected," said Prof. Dr. Jan Ninnemann, President of the DVWG.
Rural mobility faces particular challenges: declining population numbers, long distances, and often inadequately developed infrastructure. These factors require innovative solutions that meet the needs of the population while being sustainable and resource-saving at the same time.
"The Day of Transport Sciences offers the opportunity to engage in discussions with representatives from business, science, and politics about the necessary framework conditions for a future-oriented mobility transition," said Minister Petra Berg. "For Saarland as a rural region, it is particularly important to establish equal conditions in urban and rural areas in terms of mobility. Only in this way can we achieve our goal of creating more mobility with less traffic for all citizens."
Mobility in rural regions is not only a practical but also a scientific issue. "Future traffic planning in rural areas must include mobility options, such as promoting innovative public transport offerings and expanding bike paths," emphasizes Dr. Martin Kagerbauer from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
At the Day of Traffic Science, new findings from research were presented, including projects like car sharing in rural areas, multimodal transport concepts, and approaches to strengthen rail transport. These innovative approaches aim to ensure that mobility is not only efficient but also sustainable.
The program offered a variety of impulses, panels, and discussions:
- Political Panel: Decision-makers such as Minister Petra Berg (Saarland) and Rainer Genilke (Brandenburg) discussed the necessary framework conditions.
- Practical Examples: Representatives from transport associations and regional providers presented sustainable strategies.
- Scientific Panel: Experts from research and planning presented the latest findings on mobility concepts in rural areas.
- Young Speaker: Young scientists showed innovative ideas and research results.
The Day of Traffic Science thus offered a platform to promote interdisciplinary exchange.
“Rural mobility is not an isolated topic – it influences education, health, participation, and economic opportunities,” emphasizes Prof. Dr. Christine Eisenmann from BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. “Only through close cooperation between science, politics, and practice can we master this challenge.”
Unfortunately, the topic of public transport taxis was not covered. It’s a pity, as the taxi associations could have contributed considerable expertise and enriched the event.
Who is the DVWG?
The German Transport Science Society (DVWG) was founded in 1908 (as the Scientific Association for Transport (WVV)) in Berlin and is an independent, non-profit association of professionals from science, business, and administration. It is dedicated interdisciplinarily to the challenges of transport and is committed to sustainable mobility. As a neutral platform, it promotes exchange between politics, science, and industry, conducts knowledge transfer, and is engaged in promoting young talent. Its activities range from local to international levels and support the European unification process with scientific contributions.
