Havixbeck starts environmentally friendly e-cargo bike sharing for young and old!

The municipality of Havixbeck sets a strong sign of environmentally friendly mobility! The first e-cargo sharing station was opened on Willi-Richter-Platz. Mayor Jörn Möltgen said that this Initiative should offer the citizens a sustainable alternative for transports and excursions, supported by a promotion of 70 percent from the leader program. A modern electric load bike, which is equipped with a special bicycle garage, photovoltaic system and electricity memory, will be available from February. The use costs only 1 euro per hour and is ideal for family excursions and the transport of larger purchases. The municipality also sees the measure as an opportunity to sensitize citizens to environmentally friendly mobility.

The importance of mobility solutions in rural areas is also emphasized in a current study that has examined various projects to improve mobility. Researchers identify that tailor -made concepts for rural regions are essential. Cooperation between municipalities is crucial to meet the specific needs and increase the quality of life, as described in an article by diegemeinde.de . Initiatives supported by the citizens are particularly promising because they increase the acceptance of the projects.

The study offers recommendations for action for municipalities to successfully design new mobility offers. It is emphasized that trust and long -term cooperation between different actors must be promoted. These collective efforts are the key to creating a functioning, environmentally friendly transport system, which could strongly support the creation of further sharing stations in Havixbeck beyond the e-cargo bike station.
