General Secretary & Managing Director @ ÖVG // Mobility Enthusiast & Mentor // Speaker
✅ Day 1 of the World Passenger Festival 🌍 I was fortunate to participate in a panel discussion on "Effective Strategies for Shaping Mobility Behaviours with Effective Public & Shared Transport as the Backbone." 🚌🚇 🛴 🚴♀️ Together with Theresa Doppelbauer, Jaromir Beranek and Blaz Pongracic, we highlighted some of the tools, case studies and technological needs for shaping sustainable mobility behaviours. 🌍🔧 Some key takeaways included: 🗝 Convenience and habit are among the core drivers of sustainable mobility behaviour. A mindset shift only slowly changes actual habits. Any public + shared mobility experience needs to feel more convenient than potentially a door2door ride with a private car. But positive peer pressure also helps. 🗝 Cities and municipalities need to take the lead in designing the best possible mobility network for their citizens by asking the right questions, transforming data into information and sharing these with all relevant players. 🗝 Future mobility requirements in cities will be shaped by climate change and a growing population. But we still need to address some of our current needs, specifically of the ones that mobility solutions were not designed for (like everyone but men going to work and back home) Thank you to the organizers and to Harald Deprosse for guiding us through the conversation. It's inspiring to see such a strong commitment to improving our urban mobility systems and making our cities more liveable and sustainable. 🚀🏙️ Looking forward to implementing these insights and continuing the conversation - surely at one of the upcoming ÖVG - Österreichische Verkehrswissenschaftliche Gesellschaft get-togethers and events 🙌 #WorldPassengerFestival #SustainableTransport #UrbanMobility #PublicTransport #SharedTransport #Innovation #SmartCities
