Day 2 - 11 March
Session:
Airport Cities & Transport Connections


10:05 - 10:35 - Bike+business 2020 – cycle traffic strategy at Frankfurt Airport City
Synopsis: Cycling has not yet been considered together with airports. Particularly in everyday traffic, the complex structures of airports have considerable potential to establish the bicycle as means of transport in an intermodal compound. This applies in particular to Frankfurt/Main international airport. Frankfurt Airport accommodates around 80,000 workers. In 2020, 15,000 jobs will be added. This will result in steadily increasing traffic to and around the airport. The decentralised and time-independent reachability of destinations at the airport by bike means time savings for the individual, plus significant social and economic benefits.
