PRIMA

The PRIMA project supports the planning of demand-based transport.

In order to make the public transport offer more attractive and to create a higher acceptance, especially in rural areas, demand-based solutions play a significant role. In many places, the use of on-demand transport has the potential to make public transport services better and more accessible to more users as an extension of existing services and feeder services. In addition to other possibilities such as active mobility or sharing solutions, local and small-regional public transport systems (micro-public transport systems) can make mobility more sustainable and make an important contribution to the goal of a nationwide mobility guarantee in Austria.

In April 2023 the research project PRIMA started, which is managed by the studio iSPACE of RSA FG. On board as project partners are the Salzburger Verkehrsverbund, Rosinak & Partner ZT GmbH and mobyome KG. PRIMA is funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG and the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) within the 1st call for proposals on the topic of mobility (FFG) in spring 2022 (“Regions: mobilize and sustainably connect rural areas”).
