Exemplary projects on sustainable transport wanted

Sustainable mobility has numerous advantages: it reduces congestion, traffic noise and energy consumption, it improves air quality and quality of life for the local population, it creates more green spaces in public areas. Increasing sustainable mobility reduces car dependency, boosts freedom in the choice of transportation and reduces the costs of mobility both for individuals and for society as a whole. The VCÖ Mobility Award 2025 is looking for innovative projects that contribute to making personal mobility or freight transport more environmentally friendly, healthier and more efficient.

The VCÖ Mobility Award is Austria’s largest competition for sustainable transport and mobility and is carried out in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) and the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB).

Who can participate?

The submission is open to companies, including transportation companies, municipalities, districts, research institutes, schools and universities as well as to students, special interest groups and societies, campaign groups as well as private citizens. We accept: already implemented projects and projects with guaranteed funding, inspiring pilots and concepts for projects as well as studies and works of research which promote the socio-ecological transformation of the transport system and sustainable forms of mobility.
