Mobility planning (max. 800 characters) Spatial/housing planning (max. 800 characters) Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Infrastructure: Plan federal traffic routes in Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety: coordination with every affected administrative nationwide guideline and objectives concerning department at the federal level. spatial and housing planning in coordination Interior Ministry of Bavaria for building and with every concerned administrative office at transport: project planning based on the plan for federal level. federal traffic routes in coordination with every Bavarian ministry of Interior, for building and affected administrative department at national transport: project planning based on the level  state roads guideline and objectives in coordination with Ebersberg County: Planning of supra-local every concerned administrative office at roads/ district roads. The “Mobilitätsforum” national level. State development plan (LEP), operates as a consultant regarding the mobility regional plan planning Ebersberg county: as public agency  only Municipalities: planning and realization of participation with statements regarding the projects in the urban and municipal areas planning. Municipalities: planning and realization of projects in the urban and municipal areas

2. Planning instruments: Which planning instruments and strategic documents influence /control spatial/housing and mobility planning in the municipality/territory THE MOST? In which way, at what time and territorial scale do they act? Are they obligatory? Think of any programmes, concepts, regulation, strategic processes etc. (max. 5 listings with max 400 characters each)

On county-level: for Public Transport: “Nahverkehrsplan” (local transportation plan) according to BayÖPNVG - requested but not obligatory any more On municipality level: for Spatial planning/housing: Flächennutzungsplan, Bebauungsplan (Land-use plan and Land development plan) Bigger scale for Spatial planning & Transportation: On planning area level: Regional plan On federal state level: Landesentwicklungsprogramm (LEP) Land development plan

3. Main objectives: What are current and forecast main objectives and guiding principles for the municipality/territory, linked with mobility issues(+ sources)? Think of local, regional and national scale. (max. 5 listings with max 200 characters each)

The big slogan of the mobility concept is “More mobility with less traffic”, achieved through traffic reduction, modal shift actions, compatibility improvement, networking, accident avoidance, minimizing the land consumption considering all users Action program Ebersberg 2030: until year 2030 the county wants to be independent of fossil fuels. One field of action is dedicated to transportation and called “environmental friendly mobility”.

4. Planning measures: What are concrete planning measures already in use within the municipality/ territory, helping to reduce CO2 and foster/push the usage and implementation of public transport and other low CO2 mobility options? E.g. car- reduced building projects, precautionary land use (saving areas next to public transport infrastructure for

building compact settlements), subsidy for compact settlements, strengthening of town centres, regulation of residential densities next to public transport stops (max. 5 listings with max.300 characters each)

The project Comprehensive Carsharing intends to offer at least two Carsharing vehicles to towns with more than 1,000 inhabitants within the range of 1,000 m from the user until 2030. This offer should then be used by 10% of the local population. Dedicated concept for bicycle transport for the whole county (Masterplan bike traffic, signposting & closing gaps)
