With the support of our premium partners Unikims GmbH, Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund Servicegesellschaft mbH, Hübner GmbH & Co. KG and ioki GmbH as well as our partners VDV Hessen, der Nahverkehr and Nahverkehrspraxis, the event will deal with the central question of how the transport turnaround can be successfully implemented. In doing so, both behavior on an individual level and the restructuring and design processes on a societal level will be considered.
Building on the psychological foundations of mobility behavior, examples from science and practice will be presented that highlight success factors and barriers to sustainable behavior. "Public transport plays a key role in addressing current transport challenges. To get more people interested in public transport, we need to increase its attractiveness and develop a new mobility culture," said Prof. Dr. Carsten Sommer (University of Kassel), who is responsible for the conference program.
"This year's symposium offers an opportunity to come together nationwide to exchange ideas on current trends and new innovative ideas," said Dr. Michael Maxelon, CEO of Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft AG (KVG). The event combines a symposium with an exhibition where twelve exhibitors will present their latest technologies and services.
"We are very pleased to have such a high demand for the Local Transport Days. The mobility industry has always been very well represented in Northern Hesse and we want to constantly build new synergies and networks to drive sustainable regional development," emphasizes Dr. Astrid Szogs, Head of the Mobility Cluster at Regional Management.
Kai Georg Bachmann, Managing Director of Regionalmanagement Nordhessen GmbH, is also looking forward to the 2 days: "Attractive local transport is an essential key to tackling climate change. Get on board and ride along - transport turnaround does not just mean a drive turnaround."
Overall, a very high demand is expected at the 2023 Local Transport Days. As in previous years, the Best Paper Award will also be presented to young scientific researchers this year.
