Auto bet in Vienna wins VCÖ mobility price for sustainable mobility!
In Vienna, the car bet at this year's VCÖ mobility price fully taken in! The innovative project, which was launched in cooperation between the Vienna lines and the Währing district, convinced the jury in the "Sharing and Multimodal Mobility" category and thus won the prestigious price. In this exciting bet, which took place over a period of three months, 46 participants competed that dared to do without their own car.
What is behind this bet? The participants received 500 euros per month in order to switch to public transport entirely. The response was impressive: two thirds of the participants can well imagine a life without a private car. "The visualization of alternative forms of mobility was a crucial reason for our award," said the jury of the competition. In her praise, the Wiener-Linien managing director Alexandra Reinagl underlined the valuable contribution of everyone who has not made with their own car to climate protection.
A competent team and exciting results
The University of Natural Heritage (BOKU) takes over the scientific support of the project. A complete final report with the results collected is to be published at the end of the year. District head Silvia Nossek, who is enthusiastic about the green project, is confident that there is still a lot of potential for alternative mobility solutions in Vienna.
The VCÖ mobility price is not only a local highlight, but also Austria's largest competition for sustainable mobility and climate-friendly goods transport. In 2023, a total of 363 projects and concepts were put to the test when the motto "Future Fit für Stadt und Land" shaped what was happening. The specialist jury rated the submissions and honored the top projects that were able to collect additional points through an online voting. The Styria Transport Association was named overall winner this year.
Diverse approaches to environmentally friendly mobility
The importance of well -coordinated mobility should not be underestimated. The board of ÖBB-Personenerverkehr AG, Klaus Garstenauer, emphasizes the width and future-proof of the excellent projects. In the course of the VCÖ mobility award 2025, exemplary projects for environmentally friendly mobility are already being sought. Initiatives that facilitate access to climate -friendly mobility are more popular than ever, including the new apps of the OÖVV to improve public transport in Upper Austria.
The numerous ideas and innovations stand for change towards environmentally friendly traffic solutions. There is definitely something when it comes to the future of our mobility!
