Mobility is a prerequisite for social participation and therefore a basic need. Whether it's to work, to the shops, to the doctor, to school, to family or to the sports club - we all need to get around in order to live our lives. Mobility is therefore unavoidable, but the way we organize it can be changed.
The transport sector currently contributes a massive 20 percent of Germany's annual greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating the climate crisis.1 A rapid shift away from internal combustion cars and towards alternative mobility concepts is urgently needed.
The state of Baden-Württemberg has set itself ambitious targets for the "transport transition" and aims to reduce emissions in the sector by 55% by 2030. Various measures in two pillars are important for this:
- The mobility turnaround aims to reduce energy consumption in transportation by increasing the number of journeys made on foot, by bike, public transport and rail and reducing the number of cars on the road.
- The drive transition should ensure that the cars that cannot be dispensed with are powered by energy-efficient and, if possible, climate-neutral drives.

Other key goals to be achieved through the transport transition are creating accessibility and improving health by reducing air pollutants and the number of injuries and deaths caused by road traffic accidents.
The Ludwigsburg District Office is facing up to the challenges of the transformation and is implementing various projects of its own, such as the climate mobility plan and official mobility management, so that everyone in the district can be mobile in a climate-friendly way.
