“STADRADELN is a great opportunity to celebrate cycling, highlight bicycle mobility in Stuttgart, and showcase progress made in recent years—while also pointing out where improvements are still needed,” says Felix Hebeler, Head of the Green Office. “And it’s simply fun to compete together for the University of Stuttgart in a friendly competition. I think we still have a lot of potential as a university. Our aim is to get even more cyclists to log their kilometers next year and demonstrate just how important cycling and well-designed infrastructure are.”
For the third year in a row, the University of Stuttgart secured second place in the overall ranking, thereby demonstrating that sustainable mobility has become a fundamental attitude among employees and students. Increased environmental awareness is one of the strategic goals of the university, which has therefore set itself the task of taking responsibility for sustainable development.
