Mobility
By mobility we mean the movement of people and goods around an area, and the ease with which this is done. Consider, for example, a trip to the supermarket, a daily train ride to work, or a visit to friends or family.
Good mobility is important for the functioning of our society. This is why the municipality of Kerkrade is committed to future-proof mobility that goes beyond simply solving traffic bottlenecks.
Kerkrade Mobility Plan
On April 26, the council adopted the municipality of Kerkrade's Mobility Plan "Together on the Road to a Healthy and Accessible Kerkrade. In this plan, the municipality looks at vitality, sustainability, welfare, the economy, tourism and recreation. We do this on the basis of four ambitions, namely:
- Transportation is accessible to all
- Encouraging healthy behaviors
- Improving connections between neighborhoods, centers and business parks
- A pleasant and safe living environment
In order to carry out the ambitions described, we commit to six main tasks in phases. These main tasks are:
- Investing in bicyclists, pedestrians and electric transportation
- Increasing traffic safety at roads and intersections
- Counter transport poverty and ensure adequate supply of public transport and shared mobility
- Countering negative traffic behavior and rewarding positive behavior
- Specific attention to safety and accessibility in school environments
- Specific attention to accessibility and road safety of business and leisure sites
Mobility Implementation Plan
In the Mobility Plan, we outlined the future image of what the municipality of Kerkrade will look like in the future in terms of traffic and mobility. We are currently working on creating a concrete implementation plan to realize the picture of the future outlined in the Mobility Plan. This implementation plan is expected to be ready in June 2023.
