The new P&R pilot project from the next July 2025 of the city and state of Salzburg is pursuing the goal of making commuting more sustainable, stress-free and city-compatible. In addition to the 500 Park-& Ride parking spaces at the exhibition center, line 18 now runs from the trade fair center to Ferdinand-Hanusch-Platz-in 13 minutes.
Salzburg. The new pilot project is intended to promote sustainable mobility for commuters from the surrounding area of the city of Salzburg. Not only are 500 Park-& Ride parking spaces at the trade fair center offered inexpensively, line 18 will take the center of the center all year round and in the center of 13 minutes in the future and daily. And that as a express bus in a quarter -hour clock – otherwise line 18 only drove in the summer months.
“So far, the existing potential of the P&R system has not been exhausted. Especially for the many commuters from Flachgau, there is now an ideal opportunity to switch to public
says governor’s deputy Stefan Schnöll.
Total cost of one million euros
The project is implemented by the city, state, transport association, trade fair center and Salzburg lines (Albus). The financing is organized and secured in partnership between the city, state and the Salzburg transport association. The total cost is around one million euros: 700,000 euros for the bus, 300,000 euros for parking (if there is full utilization). The offer is for city councilor Anna Schiester
“Simple, low-threshold and a real invitation to change trains-for everyone who commutes to the city or visit them. The fact that it starts as a pilot project is an important step-and an opportunity to learn from it: What works well? Where does it need improvements? How can we transfer this model to other districts or P&R locations?”
Current daily tariff: 19 euros, so almost 80 cents
In the future, commuters will be available to the P&R offer on around 330 days a year (30 days of lock due to trade fairs). In order to be able to use it, you must have a climate or a month of myregio month and proof of the residence in the surrounding area (Salzburg Land, Upper Austria or Bavarian region). The annual fee for parking is then 190 euros for climaticket owners. Monthly card owners have to pay 50 euros per month. The existing company takes over the handling on site on behalf of the transport association.
If you were to use every 330 possible parking days, it would be almost 60 cents per day for parking. With an average of 230 working days a year, it is a good 80 cents a day. For comparison: The daily tariff in the trade fair center is currently 19 euros. In the city’s fee -based short park zones, 1.50 euros per hour must be paid – at a maximum of three hours in the same place.
