This specialist conference marks the start of the new ADFC project "Radio as a key factor for region, climate protection and citizens' integration", which receives the support of the Environment and Development NRW and the city of Bonn. The aim is to increase the proportion of cycling by 2035 to 25 % and to improve communication between everyone involved.

The three main goals of the project are clearly outlined: the shift in commuter traffic to environmentally friendly means of transport, a contribution to climate neutrality in Bonn and a better inclusion of the citizens. Gerd Billen emphasizes that the numerous conflicts between different interest groups show in the past how important a common procedure is. "We want to enable a better exchange with new communication formats," said Julia Dick. The future of bicycle traffic in the region is on the brink - and time is pushing!
