Project overview
Innovative mobility solutions to enhance the attractiveness of public transport in border regions
Cross-border connectivity is crucial for people in peripheral areas. But they often lack efficient service and information on public transport links to regions across borders. The TRANS-BORDERS+ project targets this issue by introducing new services and digital information systems that help with planning public transport journeys in border regions. Project partners from five countries develop solutions like open journey planners that link travel information from different providers across national borders. Moreover, the partners digitalise rural transport stops to turn them into modern mobility hubs and pilot new cross-border mobility services.

Roadmap
Enhancing Mobility Across Borders
The project, TRANS-BORDERS+, focuses on implementing innovative mobility solutions to enhance public transport attractiveness in border regions, specifically targeting areas between Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. The project operates within the public transport sector, aiming to improve transport connections in rural and peripheral regions of Central Europe.
Bridging Borders: Connecting Rural Communities in Central Europe
TRANS-BORDERS+ sees the specific problem as the lack of efficient and attractive public transport connections in peripheral border regions of Central Europe, which negatively impacts connectivity, accessibility, and regional cohesion.
Idea for Better Cross-Border Connectivity
How can innovative digital solutions and cross-border cooperation be utilized to improve public transport connectivity and accessibility in peripheral border regions of Central Europe?
Innovative Cross-Border Mobility
The innovative solution will involve developing and implementing digital mobility solutions and upgrading public transport infrastructure to enhance cross-border connectivity and make public transport more efficient and attractive in Central Europe's peripheral border regions.
Working Solution
The solution will work by introducing open journey planners (OJP) that provide seamless cross-border travel information, enabling passengers to plan journeys across different countries effortlessly. Additionally, smart public transport stops will be upgraded with digital modules and services tailored to the specific needs of rural and peripheral areas, improving the overall passenger experience. Pilot projects in selected border regions will demonstrate the feasibility of these innovations, laying the groundwork for broader implementation and scaling across Central Europe.
Proven Impact
The partnership will implement four cross-border pilot actions, establish three transnational strategies, and develop four innovative solutions to improve public transport connectivity for at least 19 organizations across Central Europe, ultimately benefiting over 30% of the EU population living in border regions by providing more accessible, efficient, and sustainable transport options. These achievements will directly address the connectivity challenges in peripheral areas, enhancing accessibility and regional cohesion as envisioned by the project.
A Blueprint for Central Europe
The project will help transform border regions into vibrant, well-connected areas through innovative transport solutions. The partners are committed to expanding these successes across Central Europe, driving further regional integration and sustainable mobility.
