Czech-Austrian Exchange in Vienna: Setting New Standards for Systemic Urban Mobility

On February 4–5, 2026, the innovative city of Vienna hosted a high-level study trip and workshop under the Active2Public Transport (A2PT) project. While the A2PT project spans several countries across the Danube region, this specific mission served as a strategic bridge between Czech and Austrian partners, bringing together key Czech stakeholders—including representatives from ministries, local governments, and the media—with international experts to explore national programs supporting safe, sustainable, and friendly transport.

The mission was organized in close collaboration with the project’s Lead Partner, the Austrian Energy Agency (AEA), and the Associated Strategic Partner (BMIMI – Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure).

The primary goal of the visit was to demonstrate to the Czech delegation how systemic, long-term national support can transform urban mobility. A key message emphasized that successful transformation requires more than isolated infrastructure projects—it demands a robust framework of data, methodology, and consistent financing.
