4 VIENNA: NETWORKING THE CITY 4.1 DIVERSIFIED MOBILITY IN 2025 Urban mobility patterns and needs are constantly changing and becoming more and more varied. The demand for transport services is increasing also outside standard peak hours because working hours are flexibilised and traditional employment relationships are on the decline. The mobility of persons aged 60 and over is increasing, the rising participation of women in the labour force is changing their mobility behaviour; commuter flows are growing as regional interactions are intensifying. Young people’s attitudes towards the car as a status symbol are changing; new technologies that allow for real-time information and reduce waiting times are impacting traffic and transport systems. Especially in urban regions, these developments render e. g. everyday cycling and the combined use of different means of transport more and more important, which calls for optimised interaction of different transport modes. In Vienna, too, the linkage of all these factors and changes demands corresponding adjustments of the transport and traffic system. The expected population and traffic volume increases additionally come into play as key drivers of change. An example: if the modal split share of motorised individual traffic remained the same, the number of trips made by car would increase by 12 percent until 2025. In recent years, Vienna presented a clear trend in favour of public transport: today already 39 percent of all trips are made by public transport, which places Vienna at the top internationally. Cycling, too, is continuously on the rise, albeit starting from a much lower level. At the moment, 6 percent of all trips in Vienna are made by bike. The share of walking remains stable at a remarkable 28 percent. Correspondingly, the traffic loads of important arteries in densely built-up zones have decreased. These positive trends are juxtaposed with several challenges that – due to the predicted growth – are likely to intensify over the next few years and hence place the following aspects squarely at the focus: Thematic concept “Mobility” A detailed mobility concept is being developed on the basis of the attitudes and strategies formulated in STEP. The concept concretises the goals and measures listed in STEP, which permits a more comprehensive and detailed overview of the mobility issue. The thematic concept “Mobility” is to be adopted within the scope of the strategic framework of STEP 2025. 102
DIVERSIFIED MOBILITY IN 2025 4.1 FOCUS MOBILITY IN THE GROWING CITY The growing city results in heavier traffic loads. While car traffic in the central districts is stagnating, public transport networks as well as cycling infrastructure facilities are sometimes already used to capacity and beyond. Permanent overload looms unless proactive measures are taken. If the currently positive trend in mobility behaviour continues, further investments in eco-friendly means of transport (public transport, walking and cyc ling). are called for. In addition to the stepping-up of the infrastructure system, it is also important to preserve and improve existing qualities. MODAL SPLIT IN COMMUTER TRAFFIC As a prospering economic hub, Vienna is an attractive place to study and work for hundreds of thousands of people from the entire eastern part of Austria and beyond; at the same time, more and more Viennese are working in the metropolitan region, beyond Vienna’s city limits. At the moment, traffic across municipal boundaries between Vienna and its environs is still dominated by cars with a mode share of 79 percent. In this respect, the situation is especially problematic along Vienna’s southern boundary, which is crossed by 220,000 vehicles in both directions, day after day. MULTIMODALITY DA–IK To support everyday multimodality corresponding infrastructure must be provided. In particular, high-level public transport nodes are currently not well prepared for intermodal traffic ( Intermodality). Rendering the possibili ties to switch between walking, (rental) bikes, e-mobility, car sharing, (e-) taxis and public transport more attractive provides a key stimulus for increasing the share of eco-friendly means of transport in the total number of trips taken in the city. ATTAINMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE PROTECTION GOALS Despite measurable changes in mobility behaviour, significant pollutant loads still do occur. Often the reasons for this cannot be directly influenced or eliminated by the City of Vienna. Despite this, municipal mobility policies must also be conceived of as a key element of the city’s climate protection strategy. STREETSCAPE DESIGN At the moment, streetscape design reflects changes in mobility behaviour and the manifold types of use of public space only insufficiently: approx. 65 percent of the road surface is still taken up by stationary and moving traffic. The prioritisation of eco-friendly means of transport is not yet adequately expressed in streetscape design. 103
