Climate protection and noise protection: Transitforum warns of failures in Tyrol
The current challenges of traffic in Tyrol are more pressing than ever! The Transitforum has presented ambitious goals for the next three years, including the focus on the climate protection project "Eyes when buying", which relies on short transport routes and regional added value. A central concern is to combat the detour transit on the burner route, the associated noise protection offensive in the Inn and Wippe Valley and measures to relieve the Fernpass. These topics are crucial because they not only affect traffic, but also the quality of life of the residents. As the Transitforum reports, Fritz Gurgiser was once again elected chairman in the recent board election, which indicates an continued committed leadership.
Urgent need for action in environmental protection
Another critical point that the Transitforum takes up is the demand for an earlier reduction in the NO2 limit values than required by the EU. At this point, you appeal to the responsible authorities to orientate yourself to the stricter issues of the World Health Organization WHO, which has already determined that the current limit values are not sufficient. The criticism of the lack of support from South Tyrol and Trentino, which, after over 30 years of North Tyrolean antitransite measures, has also not received any significant help. This fact shows the need for a concerted action between the transit countries in order to cope with the increasing stress by traffic.
For Tyrol, this situation is not only a question of environmental protection, but also a challenge for social responsibility. The Board of Directors of the Transit Forum emphasizes that civil society is required to actively fight for its rights. The persistent pressure from transit traffic, especially on the burner routes, could not only have ecologically but also serious consequences - a factual call for action that only the committed members of civil society can assume, as well as Transitforum.at led.
