Expand public transportation

Public Transport and Intermodality

• The public transport will continue to be expanded and quality improvements
  will be implemented.
• Commitment to public transport and active travel and to reducing dependence on cars, especially in rural areas.
• Gradual decarbonization of public transport.
• Creation of a national booking platform: The development of ONE Mobility is to be accelerated to enable company-wide and non-discriminatory distribution solutions for public transport throughout Austria. The federal government is actively committed to quickly completing the standard of the Open Sales and Distribution Model (OSDM). This project aims to significantly improve booking options for cross-border travel within the European Union.
• Maintenance and further development of an affordable climate ticket.
• Promotion of automation projects in rail transport.
• Strengthening of Interregio bus lines: additional express bus lines for regions in
  Austria, which are poorly connected to the
  public transport network on a supra-regional and cross-state basis.

Promote Public Transportation

• Public transportation should be expanded both in cities and metropolitan areas as well as in rural areas. The actual availability of suitable mobility offers, acceptable intervals, easy use (ticketing), as well as affordable prices and financial incentives are of crucial importance. For the implementation, regional mobility concepts should be created involving various stakeholders and interest groups, and coordinated at a supra-regional level.
