Mobility concept
The overall mobility concept for Rodgau is the central model for future transport development in our city. It shows how mobility in Rodgau can be designed in a sustainable, supply-orientated and urban way - today and in the future.
Types of transport
The concept takes all modes of transport into account:
- Pedestrian and cycle traffic
- local public transport
- motorised private transport
- so-called stationary traffic (i.e. parking).
It links these forms of transport in a meaningful way and shows measures that can be implemented step by step.
The motto/ vision for Rodgau
The overall mobility concept currently has the following motto:
"Offer-orientated. Sustainable. For everyone. In Rodgau, we strive for mobility that is accessible, sustainable and forward-looking for all citizens. We want to create a networked and environmentally friendly transport system that is needs-based and enables all age groups to actively participate in transport and thus in social life. The solutions should be climate-neutral and reduce motorised private transport without restricting the self-determination and independence of our citizens."
This motto forms the content bracket for the concept and is currently still being revised. The aim is to formulate the core statements more concisely, clearly and comprehensibly. The final version will be agreed with all stakeholders at a workshop on 11 June 2025.
Why do we need such a concept?
Rodgau is growing - and with it the demands on our mobility. At the same time, expectations regarding environmental compatibility, quality of life and climate protection are increasing. The overall mobility concept helps us to reconcile these goals:
- Promoting sustainable mobility
- Creating safe and barrier-free routes
- Managing and linking traffic sensibly
- Strengthening the quality of life in all neighbourhoods
The concept not only serves as a guide for politicians and administrators, but also as a basis for future decisions - for example in construction projects or the planning of new public transport services.
What happens next?
The overall mobility concept was developed in several stages - together with experts, political bodies and interested citizens. The second part of the concept is currently being developed. This involves concrete measures that are to be implemented in Rodgau in the medium term. These measures are being discussed and harmonised in workshops and talks with experts, municipal utilities, the public order office and many other stakeholders. The results will then be discussed in the political committees and published as soon as they have been approved."
