Mobility & traffic

The Ministry of Transport is an advocate for an improved bus, tram and train system. The goal is to double the number of passengers by 2030. Metropolitan and peripheral areas offer a huge amount of potential.

Baden-Württemberg is proud of its outstanding transport links with its well-developed road network. The days of increasing traffic figures are slowly coming to an end, which is partly due to demographic changes.

The bicycle is the modern and flexible answer to a variety of current social challenges such as air pollution control, noise, traffic jams and health issues due to lack of exercise. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport systematically supports cycling traffic as a key aspect of future mobility.

Today, around 20 percent of all German electric cars are already being driven in Baden-Württemberg. The state government aims to increase the number of vehicles with electric drives in Baden-Württemberg to 200,000 by 2020.
