The state audit office issued Carinthia with a poor climate balance: Our federal state is considered to be at the bottom of the Austrian climate rescue efforts (we reported). Carinthia has a lot of catching up to do, especially in the area of mobility. Villach City Council Dobernig criticizes state politics.
“The results of the decades of neglect are available and cannot be glossed over. However, the comparison with all federal states also shows how much the municipalities are being let down by the state,” criticizes city councilor Gerald Dobernig, who is responsible for transport planning. Mobility turnaround is possible Above all, the lack of funding would often make it impossible to implement projects. Dobernig: “You can see in Tyrol or in Salzburg that a mobility turnaround is possible with sufficient financial resources. Vorarlberg is a prime example in this area. “Steps are already being taken in Villach to put public transport on a sustainable footing. The assignment of the bus service should be completed in April. And the new route of the e-city bus is already showing results after the first few weeks. “We have already been able to increase the frequency. I have now commissioned an exact passenger count,” explains Dobernig.
