Active2Public Transport
Brief information
The "Active2Public Transport" project aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector in the Danube region by promoting active and emission-free forms of mobility such as cycling and walking in combination with public transport such as buses and trains.
The project is funded by the European Union as part of the Interreg Danube Region programme and will run for a period of 2.5 years.
Current survey
To improve cycle tourism on the Danube and beyond, we are currently conducting a survey in which we hope to receive as much support as possible from active cycling holidaymakers. 🚴♀️🌿
Cycling and holidays? If this is the perfect combination for you, then share your experiences with us in our 10-minute survey and help us to make cycling tourism in the Danube region and beyond more sustainable - especially with regard to public transport. 🚆🚲
Every vote counts - together for more cycle paths and green mobility! 💚

Project measures
A2PT action plans
Development of an action plan for Active2Public Transport in the Danube region by
- Establishment of a Danube A2PT working group & regional working group
- Analysing carbon intensity and greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector in the Danube region
- Analysis of transport hubs
- Needs analysis for different target groups (quantitative & qualitative analysis)
- Strategy development and action planning
A2PT Toolbox
Providing guidelines for innovative solutions to overcome existing gaps in the multimodal transport system:
- Inventory of innovative A2PT solutions including good practice examples
- Creating the toolbox (online platform)
- Testing and publicising the toolbox
A2PT pilot actions
Demonstrating the effects of better linking active transport with public transport at selected locations in the Danube region:
- Development of A2PT pilot action concepts
- Implementation of the A2PT pilot actions
- Monitoring & evaluation of the results of the pilot action including recommendations for improvements
- Promotion of the A2PT pilot actions
Project goals
A climate-neutral transport sector cannot be achieved simply by replacing conventional vehicles with electric vehicles. Policy measures for passenger transport must focus more on supporting a multimodal shift towards active and public transport. Active forms of mobility such as cycling and walking are the most energy-efficient and the only truly carbon-free modes of transport, especially for short journeys.
By better linking active mobility and public transport, attractive alternatives to the car can also be offered for medium and longer distances. The solutions developed and tested as part of the project will help to close existing gaps in the multimodal transport system and make improvements in the area of linking active mobility and public transport stations. This includes, for example, bicycle parking spaces, bicycle transport on buses and trains or simple onward travel options, e.g. via bike sharing or on foot. The project involves relevant regional stakeholders in the development and testing of solutions and aims to inspire them to focus more on active and sustainable forms of mobility.
