The aim of "company" or "official" mobility management (BMM) is to make commuting to work and business trips more sustainable. The aim is to reduce car traffic and thusCO2 emissions. Employees should be supported in making the switch and motivated by incentives. Processes in the vehicle fleet or parking management are optimized and designed to be as climate-friendly as possible.
Further information on fields of action, funding opportunities and a course of study can be found at theFederal Environment Agency.
How can mobility in the district office become more sustainable?
The following measures have been developed by the administration to make transportation at the district office more sustainable. They are to be implemented gradually:
- Promotion of public transit use (financial incentives, regular information for staff, travel time comparisons, and much more)
- Promotion of cycling and walking through infrastructure (bike racks), financial incentives, and campaigns (Winter Bike-to-Work Day, City Cycling, contests, and much more)
- Promoting more sustainable transportation choices for business travel (company e-bikes, new business travel policies with compensation for business trips made by bike)
- Optimization and digitization of the vehicle fleet
- Comprehensive information for employees on services, routes, and accessibility of individual locations via sustainable modes of transportation
- Long-term improvement of transportation access to the District Office through optimization of the public transit and bike path network
Free bike check at the Ludwigsburg district office
At RadCheck, cyclists can have their bike checked free of charge. Small repairs, such as inflating tires, checking the lighting system, tightening brakes or oiling the chain, are carried out directly on site. The bike professionals also provide tips for maintenance and lots of information about cycling.
The RadCHECK usually takes place on the administrative campus at Hindenburgstraße 20 (health department). Prior registration is not necessary.
You can find more information and the next dateshere.
The RadCheck is a campaign as part of the state initiative RADKULTUR, which aims to promote the joy and naturalness of everyday cycling in Baden-Württemberg.
Incentives for sustainable employee mobility
The District Office supports employee mobility in a variety of ways. In addition to providing affordable parking spaces, it is increasingly encouraging the use of climate-friendly modes of transportation.
Since 2013, District Office employees have received a 75 percent subsidy for public transportation tickets (up to 80 euros per month).
Currently, about 13 percent of employees (according to a 2020 survey) use bicycles, even though over 60 percent live within a “bicycle-friendly” distance of less than 15 kilometers. The goal is to increase this share to at least 24 percent by 2030.
Events for employees
The district administration office regularly holds various events to draw attention to its sustainable mobility options and motivate employees to actively use them for their commutes to and from work.
The first Mobility Day for employees took place on September 30, 2022 - with workshops on safe cycling, a free bike check, coding options and a variety of information and activity stands.
The Mobility Day took place in the newly renovated multi-storey parking lot, which was inaugurated early on the same day by District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier. Further information can be found at Directionsand News
Walking and cycling are healthy - which is why the topic of "self-active mobility" was also part of the Health Day 2023. In addition to awarding the winners of the CITY CYCLING competition, the event provided a wealth of information on climate-friendly mobility options at the district administration office, healthy cycling and much more.
Electromobility on the administrative campus
In recent years, the district administration office has converted part of its vehicle fleet to e-mobility and continuously developed the charging infrastructure at the district administration office
The conversion of the fleet, which previously consisted mainly of diesel vehicles, is intended to make a significant contribution to reducingCO2 emissions. In addition to individual diesel vehicles, the central vehicle fleet, to which all employees of the district administration office have access, now includes more than 15 electric and hybrid vehicles. Further electric and hybrid vehicles are assigned directly to individual departments.
Funding via three federal funding programs
Funding for the e-mobility project was obtained from three federal funding programs: the municipal guideline of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the "Clean Air Immediate Action Program" of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWI).
