Ride solutions in public transport – practical examples
Lecture
Frank Gerhardt, Wolfram Uerlich, Barbara Koch, Sven Domroes
Joining others on their ride is not only good for the environment but could also help fulfill the needs for mobility in rural areas. This form of transport is still not living up to its full potential. "Mitfahren i.G." are showing us solutions on how to establish and promote hitching a ride.

Leaser-tickets as a contribution to a traffic turnover? Evaluation results of the SennestadtTicket in Bielefeld
Lecture
Janina Welsch, Michael Herwegen
In a part of the city Bielefeld, Sennestadt, a so called leaser-ticket has been introduced. This ticket allowed the free use of busses in Sennestadt and fewer costs of public transport in the rest of the city. The result: more people used busses and being on climate friendly vehicle made social participation easier.

Parking management (EN)
Lecture
Dr. Paul Barter
Traffic planning is using parking management to manage the amount of space cars are taking up in cities. This way, cities can earn money to reinvest in other forms of transport as well. In this event we will look at the implementation of parking management and its effects for public transport.

Need-oriented transport

Beneficial financing for the public transport infrastructure in cities
Lecture
Oliver Mietzsch
Here, we illustrate a beneficial financing concept for cities’ railbound public transport systems. The implicated participation of this concept aims to cover the expenses for developing and extending the street infrastructure or rather municipal supply and disposal infrastructure (BauGB, laws of municipal taxes of the federal states). A significant difference to usual means of collecting taxes for this purpose is, regarding the current financing situation, that in terms of public transportation, there is no common use of it like in street infrastucture and that people are not forced to use (i.e. through follow-up fees).

Inclusive traffic turnaround
Lecture
Janna Aljets
Mobility for everyone, what does that even mean? How do mobility-needs differ, and what makes the current traffic system unfair? What would our traffic system look like, if everyone was included? Why do we need feminism for more mobility, and how does the public transport take part in this? I will look at these questions by starting with a short presentation and discussing with you afterwards. We will develop ideas and strategies for a more inclusive traffic turnaround.

Cornelia Vogt, chairman of the Homebound-telephone, will be showing us the effects of sexism in public spaces and how we can make a change.

Passenger appreciation: the inner and outer design of public transport vehicles
Lecture
Stephan Kyrieleis
To attract more people to use public transport, it is not just about the price or offer of rides. Public transport needs a new, confident appearance. When looking at the outer designs of trains, we can conclude whether the customers are being valued or only seen as transport goods. The interior design and its color can make a difference considering the level of comfort of the customers. The costs are also low in comparison to the whole vehicle. We will look at practical examples and the various options, including art.

How public transport providers can increase vaccine access (EN)
Lecture
Stewart Mader
Accelerating COVID-19 vaccination will advance a post-pandemic future in which transit can fully realize its promise. This session will highlight three ways that transit agencies can support vaccination for communities they serve, and explain how accelerating vaccination will help agencies better prepare for post-pandemic service.
