die eine nachhaltige Mobilität durch den Einsatz von innovativen Verkehrslösungen fördern.
Zusammen mit der Stadt Karlsruhe und dem Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund ist der Verband Region Karlsruhe seit 2024 unter dem Namen Karlsruhe Region Mitglied im POLIS Netzwerk.
Together with the city of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Transport Authority, the Karlsruhe Region Association has been a member of the POLIS network under the name Karlsruhe Region since 2024.
Karlsruhe Region: cradle of mobility solutions
Karlsruhe Region is situated between the Middle Upper Rhine and the northern Black Forest within a surface of 2.137 Squarekilometers. It is home to a million people and a culture of mobility. The inventor of the bicycle, Karl von Drais, was born here, as well as the automobile pioneer Carl Friedrich Benz. The Karlsruhe local transport solution was modelled worldwide. Karlsruhe Region is also an innovation spot for mobility such as urban air mobility.
As a new member of POLIS we were happy to host annual conference 2024 in Karlsruhe.
Karlsruhe Region - nice to meet you
Located at the intersection of two European transport corridors, the Karlsruhe region faces opportunities and challenges in the field of transport in all its facets. However, thanks to the region's long-standing tradition and pioneering role in innovative mobility solutions, the challenges have almost never been an issue. It is not for nothing that we refer to our region as the cradle of mobility. The region is home to world-renowned research and development institutions, companies and highly ambitious local authorities, which is the basis for a functioning mobility culture.
The region today plays a leading role in the development of innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, such as the tram-train-system known worldwide as the Karlsruhe model, as well as its pioneering role in car sharing and its designation as the bicycle friendly city in Germany. In addition, the region is also very active in the internationally renowned research landscape and also puts such research projects into practice. One example is the regiomove project, which offers multimodal, region-wide mobility stations and a customized app that combines several modes of transport.
As a hub of international transport routes with important waterways, highways and railroads, the region is actively involved in transnational and cross-border administrative partnerships. The Main Line for Europe and the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) Rhine-Alpine Corridor are just two examples of this.
Regiomove - multimodal from A to B
