City requests transit methods from Herner
The city of Herne is inviting its residents to have their say on the routes taken and frequent places visited in Herne-Mitte, as part of an initiative to co-create the mobility transition in the city.
The survey, which can be found on the website www.herne-mobil.de, under the "Get Involved" section, is a key part of Herne's commitment to reducing individual car traffic by approximately 30% over the next 10-15 years. This ambitious goal is part of the city's contribution to national and global climate protection efforts.
The survey, designed to take only a few minutes to complete, is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on means of transport within the city, while the second part delves into the specifics of Herne-Mitte. The city encourages all residents to participate, as their opinions will help shape the future of mobility in the city.
Herne is thinking about mobility in a new way - networked, adaptable, and ready for the challenges of tomorrow. The mobility transition in the city is not about renunciation, but improvement. New bus lines and expanded paths for pedestrians and cyclists are among the planned changes for Herne-Mitte, reflecting the city's commitment to creating a more sustainable and people-friendly urban environment.
The city will also be represented with an action stand at Crange Kirmes on August 6 and 8, offering residents an opportunity to learn more about the mobility transition and ask questions.
The survey aims to find out what is already running well and where there is a need for improvement in Herne-Mitte. By taking the opinions and needs of its residents into account, the city does not intend to achieve its traffic reduction goal through coercion, but through collaboration and understanding.
As the city of Herne embarks on this mobility transition, it is important to remember that the goal is not just about reducing car traffic, but about creating a city that is designed to fit the needs of its people - today and tomorrow. The city encourages all residents to participate in the survey and help shape the future of mobility in Herne.
