Traffic chaos in Tulln: FPÖ blocks important mobility solution!

traffic issues in Lower Austria are currently in the focus of the public discussion. Under the responsibility of FPÖ-Landbauer, the pilot initiative Lisa Tulln was launched, which was supported by start-up financing from the country's economic funds. The pilot phase should actually be continued, but a clear decision has now been made that this will not be done. VP Mayor Eisenschenk has long negotiated with the traffic department to secure the financing, which was severely difficult by party-political blockages on the part of the FPÖ. According to ots.at, Tulln's citizens were accused of being placed well.

Lisa Tulln, which was launched as a pilot project in December 2022, aims to serve the first and last mile with a car sharing model and other mobility offers. Last year, around 55,000 people covered a total of 116,000 kilometers with Lisa, with the most common destinations being the Tulln and Tullnerfeld train stations and the house of digitization. The financing is 50 percent each through the city and the country, a total of around one million euros per year, as krone.at reports. But before decisive negotiations, the initiative is now there without promised state funds, which endangers the continuation of the shuttle service.

political tensions and challenges

City Councilor Andreas Bors from the FPÖ expressed concerns about the financing of the mobility project and was surprised to provide no further means of providing no further means of the decision of the governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner. The mood is tense; Bors hopes for support from Udo Landbauer to reach an agreement. According to ÖVP transport spokesman Florian Krumböck, however, a solution is being worked on that provides for an cost division between the city and traffic department.

The problems in the FPÖ's transport policy are not only limited to Tulln. There is already the challenge of a rock fall in the Wachau and difficulties with the Danube Bridge in Mautern. At the same time, the indifference of the FPÖ is publicly addressed to its own government member. The member of the state parliament Florian Krumböck emphasizes that the solution for Lisa Tulln was only possible through the persistence of Mayor Eisenschenk.

context and vision for mobility

Behind the Lisa Tulln project is the Mobility.Lab Lower Austria initiative, which has set itself the goal of improving accessibility in traffic through innovative approaches. This ranges from strengthening public transport to needs -based mobility solutions for various social groups, including people restricted mobility and families without a two -car. Lisa stands for light. Intelligent. Clean. Attractive. One strives for less dependence on the car and easier access to public transport, which could benefit the citizens in Tulln in the long term, such as Mobilitaetsprojekt.vcoe.at

The next steps for Lisa Tulln as well as other mobility projects in Lower Austria remain uncertain in view of the political tensions and financial uncertainties. Efforts for a balanced mobility policy could be a far -reaching example of the integrated approaches in the traffic sector that could serve other cities and municipalities in Austria as a model.
