This Interreg project is about improving mobility in rural regions affected by demographic change.
This Interreg project is about improving mobility in rural regions affected by demographic change.
Demographic change and the increasing migration of young people to urban areas are leading to a decline in demand for mobility services in rural areas. As a result, traditional public transport services are usually no longer profitable and have been greatly reduced. The accessibility of public facilities and services for residents (people-to-service mobility) is therefore one of the main problems in rural areas. Another challenge is the provision and care for people (service-to-people mobility). Private-sector operators are less and less likely to take on this task due to a lack of sufficient demand.
MAMBA aims to find new solutions by improving the integration of mobility services and structures. The project will set up regional and local “mobility centers” in nine affected regions. The goal is to optimize the management of traffic capacities in the traffic administration as well as to introduce or bundle information systems of traffic services. It also aims to improve cooperation between mobility service providers.
New mobility solutions in rural areas and the formation of mobility centers raise legal questions regarding their approvability and admissibility under municipal constitutional law. IKEM determines the current legal situation in Germany and in the other participating Baltic Sea countries as well as the compatibility of new mobility concepts with this legal framework.
At the end of the project, IKEM published a study on the legal framework conditions for innovative rural mobility solutions. For Germany, the study identified, among other things, the restrictive passenger transport law as an obstacle to new mobility solutions. In other countries, a lack of funding opportunities, insufficient planning capacity in the municipalities, and data protection are further legal challenges. The research results provided the basis for a paper with policy recommendations for the Baltic Sea region.
Bahareva, Vizma; Eickelmann, Elias; Grunfelder, JulienMaximising Mobility and Access to Services In Rural Regions – A Policy Guideline 2020. These guidelines are based on the pilot actions implemented during the MAMBA project, including legislative, economic and socio-cultural analyses. This document shall assist policymakers, government ministries, transport service providers and municipalities when working on mobility solutions in rural areas, and encourage all stakeholders to become more open to alternative transport solutions and to expand their traditional services. |

Ellner, Maximilian; Schuhmacher, Oskar; Hartwig, MatthiasPre-study report on legal determinants for innovative rural mobility solutions 2018. In this legal pre-study IKEM addresses legal enablers and barriers for innovative mobility solutions such as the pilot actions and the establishment of the MCs in MAMBA. In a first chapter IKEM will focus on the legal analysis of the different mobility solutions (A.). The second chapter will be dedicated to the MCs (B.) In the Annex a legal Inventory can be found that collects all national and international regulations regarding innovative mobility solutions (Annex, A.- D.). MAMBA – Maximising Mobility and Accessibility in Regions Affected by Demographic Change is a project funded by the European Regional Development Fund under the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme 2013-2020. |
Am 4. und 5. Juni 2020 werden unter dem Motto “No future for rural Europe? Breaking the vicious circle with successful mobility and accessibility ideas” in Berlin die Ergebnisse der letzten drei Jahre präsentieren.
