Stuttgart-Germany: Rethink your ride

How can we change the arrival and departure culture to big events, what can be done to diversify transportation options, and relieve congestion on such events? 

In the Region of Stuttgart, there are have plenty of big events throughout the year (60000 to a few 1000 or less visitors several times weekly and also the Euro 2024 coming up). This includes sport events, culture events, conferences, festivals,…etc.

Most of the visitors use their car to reach the event and accept traffic jams or use crowded public transport (if available). Other mobility solutions play hardly a role, even not the own bike or shared mobility. There are also few conditions available to diversify transportation options, e.g. barely safe places to park a bike or scooter. 

Goals: 

• At least one event should be piloted (if possible more than one, depends on the solution)
• The event should be as big as manageable
• From one to all modes of transport should be implemented (depends on the solution)
