Start of the Interreg project “Transport services of the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Park"

November 1, 2024 marked the official start of the project “Transport Services of the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Park”. With this Interreg-funded project, the technical universities from Prague/Dečin and Dresden, the Bohemian Switzerland National Park Administration and the regional transport company Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge will strengthen cross-border cooperation and contribute to reducing effects caused by traffic in the multinational tourism region. The project will receive a total of EUR 1,169,987.04 in ERDF funding.

The VPA chair is responsible for forecasting stationary traffic. Through pull and push measures, as much of this potential as possible is to be shifted to eco-mobility. The application spectrum of the forecast data should range from the daily scheduling of public transport (booster trips, vehicle selection) to the consideration of adjustments to timetable design and the selection of measures to support modal shift.
