Fiche exposant

Vienna, a city steeped in tradition is well-known for being a great place to live – and is also on the cutting edge when it comes to sustainable mobility. Major renovation of public transport over the past few decades, encouraging walking and cycling and investments to provide innovative solutions and services have all contributed to a mobility system geared to the future. The goal over the coming years is to go even further and make the city climate-neutral by 2040.

As Vienna’s annual transport survey shows, in 2023 42% of all journeys are by bike or on foot, while a further 32% use public transport. The special focus on sustainable means of transport is tangible on a day-to-day level, with a rise in the number of journeys on foot and by bike for travel to and from work, shopping and leisure activities. Car journeys have levelled off at 26% over the past few years.

The public transport system is best described as fast, attractive, and affordable: For a price of 365€ passengers can travel on the entire network for 365 days which equals only 1€ per day. More than 2 million passengers use Vienna’s public transport system daily.

Vienna is a cycle-friendly city and facilitates the pedestrian traffic. The cycling network (including mountain bike trails) currently totals 1,721km and is constantly being extended by new cycle tracks and cycleways. With wide pavements, pedestrian areas and countless squares to enjoy, getting around Vienna by foot is very popular and pleasurable.

Zero local emission through electromobility is addressed by expanding the public charging infrastructure of currently 1,000 charging stations. Innovative mobility solutions like car-sharing via the WienMobilAuto App contribute their part in achieving the ‘climate neutral’ target set for 2040. New technologies are used to keep the city moving. Adaptive traffic lights, traffic management systems and pilot projects for self-driving vehicles conduct to the improvement of transportation efficiency.
