Transport policy in transition: TMV wants taxis as a key for mobility
In the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, the responsibility for the road traffic sector has been newly reassigned. In the future, Parliamentary State Secretary Christian Hirte (CDU) will be responsible for this area. This also includes the taxi and rental car industry in his area of responsibility.
TMV meets new contact person
Patrick Meinhardt, Chief Executive Officer of the Taxi and Rental Car Association Germany (TMV), met again with Christian Hirte for a discussion in the Bundestag. The background of the meeting was to clarify the political responsibilities and position the TMV as a contact for the industry.
Topic: Small Professional Knowledge
A central issue was the so-called "Small Professional Knowledge," a legally mandated training requirement for rental car drivers. The TMV is calling for the removal of this regulation from the driver licensing ordinance. Meinhardt referred to a resolution by the Thuringian State Association of the Transport Industry, which contains the same demand.
Reference to the Government Statement of the New Minister
The exchange also took place in the context of the first government statement by the new Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder (CDU). In his speech, Schnieder announced several initiatives, including the establishment of an expert panel on "Climate-Friendly Mobility," the prioritization of infrastructure investments from the special funds, and strengthening public transport (ÖPNV). He also reaffirmed support for a technology-neutral automotive location and the expansion of transport infrastructure in rural areas.
TMV Sees Opportunities for the Industry in Rural Areas
The TMV sees new approaches for the taxi and rental car industry as part of these political initiatives, especially in rural areas. The association advocates for a stronger integration of taxis as part of the public transport system, particularly in the evenings and on weekends. Proposals such as a "Germany Ticket Plus" including taxis should be brought into future political discussions.
Patrick Meinhardt is pleased that there is now clarity regarding the assignment:
"This makes Christian Hirte our first political contact at the federal level for all issues concerning the taxi and rental car industry. And Christian receives a clear signal: We are reliable, maintain open and honest communication, and are oriented towards the greatest possible cooperation. The industry needs the ministry, and the ministry needs the industry as a trustworthy partner."
Demand for Mobility Justice
With regard to the current debate on the future of public transport, the TMV calls for greater consideration of rural areas. Mobility must be understood as a prerequisite for social participation and economic prosperity. The association sees its goal affirmed by statements from all government factions.
