Salzburg's 24/7 cargo bike rental: a green mobility solution for everyone

The city of Salzburg has received a significant award in the area of sustainable mobility. The innovative cargo bike rental system was recognized at this year's Verkehrsclub Austria (VCÖ) Mobility Prize. It enables citizens to comfortably borrow cargo bikes through special rental boxes in the city, and the seven days a week around the clock.

This project represents a contribution to environmentally friendly mobility. The cargo bikes offer an excellent transport option for everyday completions such as purchases, family excursions or minor deliveries. In this way, inner -city traffic is also relieved, which contributes positively to the air quality and reduction of noise.

Initiative for sustainable mobility

The designer bike traffic coordinator Peter Weiss is the head behind the 24/7 cargo bike rental. With his project, he not only wants to promote the environmentally friendly possibilities of cycling, but also establish a new loan culture. His goal is to encourage people to use the cargo bike instead of using the car for short distances, which could ultimately increase the quality of life in the city.

the VCÖ, a non -profit organization that has existed since 1988, is committed to sustainable mobility and is committed to a balanced transport system. The rental stations are equipped with a modern booking system that ensures uncomplicated handling. Interested parties can register via the platform www.radverteiler.at and borrow the cargo bikes via app or key code.

Extension of the rating network

In addition to the existing rating network, there is already a new station in the residents' service position Gnigl/St. Anna in planning. The city would like to give even more citizens the opportunity to use environmentally friendly transport alternatives and actively contribute to reducing traffic.

Overall, the award shows that Salzburg is on the right track to build a sustainable traffic infrastructure and to raise awareness of environmentally friendly mobility solutions. The 24/7 cargo bike rental could then serve as a model for other cities that want to introduce similar concepts.

These measures create a basis that not only benefits the residents, but also contributes to the achievement of the climate goals. The potential is great and the city has firmly decided to continue this positive development.
