Ministerium für Landesentwicklung und Verkehr des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany (Lead Partner) 

Saxony-Anhalt is confronted with manifold demographic challenges mainly caused by the decreasing number of inhabitants in rural areas. Their task is to address these changes and find solutions for all areas of public services. One important aspect is public transport. In YOUMOBIL, they work on future-oriented public transport services for young people in rural areas. They are developing and testing the new information app INSA YOUNG, which is going to present new information services and facilitate access to public transport. Another pilot project pursues the revitalization of the train station building in Weißenfels.

Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, Slovakia 

University of Žilina as an institution providing education for young people specialising mostly in transport fields has the extraordinary ability to generate awareness regarding all aspects of sustainable mobility in communities. To be successful, university had to adopt first sustainable concept within its own campus. In recent decade several measures have begun encouraging usage of active modes of transportation including bike and e-scooter sharing among students and employees as well. To support more sustainable mobility choices charging for on campus parking was introduced together with the new bus line crossing the campus. UNIZA is also a partner in many international scientific and educational projects focused on sustainable mobility.
