Funding of Traffic and Mobility Projects

In Styria, a continuously available grant opportunity is being offered for transport and mobility projects that aim to clearly shift the modal split in favor of public transport and non-motorized individual transport. Funding is provided for investments in railway infrastructure, local transport hubs, bus stops and infrastructure, park-and-ride facilities, as well as cycling measures. Applicants are primarily transport companies, municipalities, and non-profit organizations active in the fields of infrastructure and urban development. The funding initiative aims to establish more environmentally friendly mobility, strengthen regional transport connections, and create sustainable alternatives to individual motorized transport. Applications are free of charge and can be submitted at any time, enabling timely planning and rapid project implementation. By supporting innovative concepts, the initiative seeks to reduce traffic burdens in the long term and improve quality of life in both urban and rural areas.

A prerequisite for the grant is a concluded agreement based on the statewide funding guidelines. The informal funding application must be accompanied by a detailed project description as well as a financing and implementation plan to ensure transparency and traceability of the investments. The start date for funding is considered to be 05.09.2013; the deadline is unlimited, allowing project initiatives without a fixed submission period. After implementation, compliance with the agreements is reviewed by the administration based on original invoices, payment receipts, and, if applicable, official approval notices. This structured funding process supports efficiently planned projects and makes an effective contribution to the transport transition in Styria.
