Traffic and mobility

...are of central importance at universities. The mobility generated here is highly relevant to the production of CO2.

In the project "Concepts and measures for sustainable mobility"

...new strategies and approaches are therefore to be developed comprehensively and across the board. In a first step, a basic data collection on the mobility behavior of all university members was carried out. In the second step, the recording of transport demand, requirements and wishes for mobility enables the development of a concept for sustainable campus mobility and logistics, which includes measures from the fields of bicycle infrastructure and e-mobility. Once the measures have been implemented (third step), the success of the concept will be assessed in a second wave of surveys (fourth step). As a result, the project should not only lead to more sustainability in mobility and logistics at the University of Kassel, but also produce a scientifically sound guideline in which recommendations for the implementation of sustainable transport are given for other universities.

Sustainable transport needs a mix of measures in order to have the necessary impact!

Systematic recording and documentation of the initial situation is essential for this. The mobility behavior of students and employees is at the heart of the analysis.

First measures are being implemented

Bike repair stations

Low air in the tire, loose screw on the luggage rack? No problem, because on the Holländischer Platz campus and at the Nordbahnhofstraße location in Witzenhausen there are now bicycle repair stations!

 

Mobility survey

How do students and staff get to the university? Do they walk, cycle, take public transport or drive? The survey now available from the Department of Transport Planning and Transport Systems provides initial insights into mobility behavior.
