Implementation of the State Municipal Transport Financing Act – Cycling and Pedestrian Traffic

The funding program of the state of Baden-Württemberg supports municipalities and companies in improving cycling and pedestrian infrastructure as well as public local transport. The aim is to promote sustainable and climate-friendly mobility, improve traffic conditions, and ensure accessibility.

The program supports a wide range of infrastructure measures in cycling and pedestrian traffic as well as in municipal road construction and public transport. This includes the construction, expansion, and reconstruction of traffic routes that contribute to improving mobility, traffic safety, and the environmental situation.

Funding is primarily provided as a grant, with the amount of the grant varying depending on the project and its specific characteristics. Fixed funding rates and lump sums are established to ensure efficient financial support.

Specific conditions apply to funding, including the inclusion of the project in a state funding program, compliance with technical standards, and consideration of accessibility. The start of the project before the grant decision is generally not permitted, with narrow exceptions.

The application process is divided into program inclusion of the project and the actual application for funding. Specific documents must be submitted and deadlines observed to ensure smooth processing.

Funding is based on the State Municipal Transport Financing Act (LGVFG) and its associated administrative regulations. These documents define the legal framework and conditions for granting subsidies.
