Vienna is the city with the most climate-friendly transport concept. This is demonstrated by a ranking released Monday by the environmental organization Greenpeace, which compared the nine state capitals in seven traffic and environmentally relevant categories, including public transportation and air quality. Bregenz and Innsbruck follow the squares. Eisenstadt did his worst.
However, Greenpeace sees the need to act in all cities, because traffic is one of the biggest climate killers in Austria. “About a third of the emissions that affect the climate can be traced back to environmentally damaging mobility,” said Greenpeace climate expert Jasmin Duregger.
The participation of different modes of transport in total mobility, air quality, cycling, public transport, parking, pedestrian-friendliness, as well as electric mobility and car sharing was examined. While around 70 per cent of trips in Vienna are made by environmentally friendly means of transport such as bicycles or public transport, in Eisenstadt, at the bottom of the list, it is only 30 per cent. But Greenpeace also sees a lot of room for improvement in Vienna, especially when it comes to pedestrian friendliness and air quality.
