ÖH Leoben: Excellent and climatic rental is expanded!
The student body in Leoben can look forward to a remarkable award. The ÖH Leoben has recently been rewarded with gold at the Sustainability Award of the Ministry of Education and Climate Protection. This prize was awarded for the innovative project of the climate rental, which has existed since April this year and enables students to rent a transferable ticket for Styria.
A ticket for just one euro a day? This is exactly what the ÖH Leoben offers. Students can easily reserve a corresponding climatic set via a practical booking calendar and collect them in the front office of the ÖH Leoben. This offer quickly became very popular, which surprised those responsible. Many tickets are booked up several weeks in advance.
New offer for Salzburg
Due to the strong inquiries, the offer has now been expanded: From this week, students can travel by one euro not only in Styria, but also in Salzburg with a climate. Anna Amerer, the chairwoman of the ÖH Leoben, emphasizes that this is a further step towards sustainable mobility. The rental system should also enable those who cannot afford their own climate, explore nature, visit friends or use sustainable winter sports.
"Our goal as ÖH Leoben is to promote affordable and sustainable mobility," said Amerer. There are already plans for further expansion of the project. "Our students will be offered even more because we are working intensively on further extensions," she added.
Popularity and prize money
The award at Sustainability Award is not only an appreciation for the work of the ÖH Leoben, but also brings prize money of 3,000 euros. This money is to flow into the expansion of the climate rental. In Leoben, other university representatives have already expressed their interest in introducing the successful model, which shows that the initiative is positive in addition to the city limits.
The initiative of the ÖH Leoben is part of a larger trend that focused on sustainable mobility. More and more municipalities and institutions are relying on climatic coats and similar offers to promote ecological solutions in the area of traffic. This shows that the student representative is not only at the pulse of time, but also makes an important contribution to the environmental protection and support of the students.
