Viennese traffic transition in danger: 40% of climate -damaging emissions remain!

In Vienna, the proportion of motorized private transport in the Modal Split persists on worrying 26 percent, and for three years. This is confirmed by mobility spokeswoman Heidi Sequence, who reports to 25 percent in view of an alleged reduction: "This is at least once in the right direction, but at the pace we need until 2045 to achieve the goals of the climate channel." The climate schedule stipulates that the car share should be reduced to 20 percent by 2025 and only 15 percent by 2030. 40 percent of climate -damaging emissions are directly related to traffic, as sequence emphasized.

Despite a slight increase in bicycle traffic by 1 percent, a new survey shows that car traffic remains in the foreground. Kilian Stark, also a mobility spokesman, criticizes these stagnating changes: "There is no courage to be in profound reforms while talking about climate protection." The picture is sobering when you consider that the pedestrians are suffering from the redistribution.

The challenge remains great: Although more and more Viennese are on the move, the increase in cars remains disproportionate. Car traffic is still dominant on the city limit. In order to achieve the goal of reducing the car density, coordinated efforts of all actors, such as the expansion of public transport and smart parking space management, are required to improve the climate. According to the Viennese climate schedule, the proportion of non-fossil driven cars should increase to 100 percent by 2030.
