Due to the close-knit economic relationships and the high economic output in the Alpine Rhine-Lake Constance-Upper Rhine cross-border region, around 50,000 people a day commute across the national borders, and the majority prefer to do so using their own car. There are also a high proportion of inland commuters in the region. Long-term, integrated solutions are being worked out in the “PEMO - sustainable commuter mobility” project, the objective of which is the shifting of the "modal split” (distribution of the volume of transport to different forms of transport) to achieve sustainable mobility. Traffic and mobility are the key themes in international climate protection. While it has already been possible to actually reduce CO2 emissions in other sectors, emissions from traffic and therefore fine dust pollution are increasing. In the EU, traffic contributes to one quarter of total CO2 emissions. At around 12 per cent, home-grown passenger car traffic is therefore responsible for around half of the emissions . 50,000 people commute daily across national borders in the Alpine Rhine-Lake Constance-Upper Rhine region; there is also high proportion of inland commuters. Surveys and analyses (including the alpine space project Alpstar) show that many people travelling for work have a commute (often of around 10 kilometres) which could be undertaken by train, bus, bike or car pooling. In this way home-grown traffic and its negative consequences, such as fine dust and CO2 emissions as well as noise pollution. would actually be reduced. The current situation regarding international and national work and training commuter traffic in the region therefore offers many opportunities for encouraging the modal split, via the targeted involvement and cooperation of transport carriers, residential and working communities, companies and training institutions, as well as from commuters themselves. Long-term, integrated solutions can be worked out via cross-border partnerships of the most important system players (companies, training institutions, local authorities and mobility providers), the aim of which is to shift the modal split towards sustainable mobility. Many parties would benefit from this: Commuters (cost savings and health), companies (cost savings, for example via reduced parking spaces and less sick leave), mobility providers (more passengers), work / residential communities (lower passenger car infrastructure costs) and residents in the region (better air and less noise). The keys to success are, to name a few, infrastructure measures in companies (bike parking stations, public transport departure screens, lockers for cyclists, etc.) and in local communities (bike parking stations, cycle paths and bus lanes); organisational measures in industrial areas (networking with neighbouring companies, car pools and teleworking) with local authorities (organisational traffic measures) and mobility providers (cross-border timetable development); financial measures in industrial areas (job tickets, parking management systems) and mobility providers (fare systems). The core elements of the PEMO project are: Acquisition of pilot industrial areas and pilot companies and/or training institutions Development of tools: Analysis tools, infrastructure tools, organisational and financial tools, awareness-raising tools Working out location-adapted packages of measures: Infrastructure and organisation and financing and awareness-raising Implementation of the measures at selected pilot locations Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation measures Cross-border exchange of experiences The objective and/or reference categories are: Companies and training institutions in the project area Communities and residential areas Work and training commuters in the project area Transport carriers / mobility providers Decision-makers at canton, district, federal state and national level (English)
