Municipal mobility concepts for a livable city
Regional transportation demand management combines strategies and measures for shaping transportation in cities and municipalities. Its goal is to organize mobility in an environmentally friendly, efficient, and socially equitable way. Noise, congestion, and emissions should be reduced and avoided as much as possible. Well-designed transport planning thus makes a crucial contribution to creating a livable, safe, and attractive city.
Improving regional transportation strategy with the Klima-Taler app
The introduction of the Klima-Taler opens up entirely new possibilities for data-driven mobility management in municipalities. The collected mobility data provide a concrete basis for efficient and targeted transport planning. This makes it possible to align cycling infrastructure, public transport schedules, and safe school routes with the actual needs of citizens and to plan investments for regional transportation demand management optimally.
Insights into mobility behavior and potential for sustainability
In addition, Klima-Taler municipalities gain valuable insights into mobility behavior, of course in a data-protection-compliant manner with anonymized data. Transport planners can identify peak times, preferred modes of transport, and movement patterns of the population. Klima-Taler is the only app that distinguishes between 12 different modes of mobility.
The most important aspect for a successful regional transportation strategy is that pedestrian routes are also captured—often a blind spot in mobility management, even though 80% of trips under 2 km are made on foot. The data also allow municipalities to identify areas where the quality of public spaces should be improved, as many people pass through but do not linger. This helps avoid misplanning and enables a realistic municipal mobility concept. It allows for rapid adjustments to transport offerings, making mobility smoother and more responsive to actual demand.
The data also reveal where the potential for sustainable transport options is particularly high. Whether carsharing, e-bike stations, or safe walking and cycling routes, municipalities can develop mobility concepts that promote climate-friendly transport where it is actually used. In this way, sustainable mobility is not only planned but actively lived.
Furthermore, Klima-Taler enables transparent success measurement in transport planning. Municipalities can track which actions or infrastructure projects genuinely influence behavior, and the CO₂ savings achieved are documented. These measurable results provide a solid foundation for municipal mobility management and demonstrate the benefits of sustainable mobility in concrete numbers—making the success communicable to the public.
Easily motivate citizens
Finally, Klima-Taler strengthens citizen participation and motivation. Through the reward system, residents are actively involved in the planning and simultaneously encouraged to adopt climate-friendly behavior. The result is greater acceptance and a shared sense of responsibility for the regional transportation demand management
15-minute city as a goal of municipal transport planning
The 15-minute city is a regional transportation strategy. All essential daily facilities—such as work, school, shopping, and healthcare—are reachable within a maximum of 15 minutes on foot or by bicycle. The goal is to reduce car traffic, protect the environment, and make the city more livable.
In short – what data-driven regional transportation strategy delivers
A data-driven approach like the Klima-Taler app makes it easy for municipalities to improve their regional transportation demand management in a targeted way—especially when it comes to ensuring that the transportation strategy is sustainable and the success of measures is measurable. At the same time, citizens are motivated to travel in a climate-friendly way and actively participate in shaping mobility. In this way, municipal mobility management plays a key role in making cities more livable, safer, and future-ready for everyone.
With the Klima-Taler app, getting started with data-driven, climate-friendly regional transportation demand management is simple, secure, and effective.
