Changing framework conditions, new innovations, different transport behaviour and a new mobility awareness among the population mean that it is time to reposition municipal transport policy and planning for future challenges. To this end, the city of Chemnitz is updating its transport development plan. The draft for the VEP 2040 has been developed since 2019, initially in a co-creative process. The resulting five guiding principles for future transport development are now to be discussed with the public.

Local transport plan for the Chemnitz sub-region

The update of the local transport plan (NVP) was adopted by the city council on 27 January 2016. At the timetable change in December 2017, the "NEUE NETZ", which went into operation in 2008, was replaced by the "Angebotsnetz 2017+". The NVP was fundamentally adopted by the city council in 2006.

Study on mobility behaviour

Since 1972, the city of Chemnitz has regularly taken part in the "Mobility in Cities - System of Representative Transport Surveys" (SrV) survey, which takes place every five years. This survey is being updated with the results of the 2018 survey.
