Abstract

Transport, insbesondere der Straßenpersonenverkehr, verursacht massive Umweltauswirkungen und Treibhausgasemissionen, die bisher nur unzureichend politisch bekämpft wurden. Gerade Deutschland mit seiner starken Automobilindustrie und dem gut ausgebauten Straßennetz ist hier keine Ausnahme. Diese Arbeit analysiert die regulatorischen, fiskalischen und weichen Maßnahmen (wie Image-Kampagnen) für nachhaltigen Personenlandverkehr der Deutschen Bundesregierung. Sie zeigt die Fixierung auf teure technische Maßnahmen wie Elektromobilität und Infrastrukturausbau, eine Veränderung des Mobilitätsverhaltens wird jedoch nicht angestrebt: Anstatt den Fokus auf Verkehrsvermeidung und Verkehrsverlagerung zu legen, werden rein technische Lösungen für Emissionsprobleme propagiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit vergleicht die Ziele und Politikpakete der Bundesregierung mit ihren Anstrengungen und den Umweltkennwerten und zeigt, dass eine Transition im Transportsektor notwendig ist, um gerechte, erschwingliche und nachhaltige Mobilität für jeden Deutschen zu erreichen.
