NCMM- Mobility Management Connections: Improving Public Transportation in a Rural German county and Creating Jobs for Women
Join us to learn about a rural German county called 'Vogelsbergkreis', where a project was initiated to enhance public transportation and created jobs for women. The project involved a grant application to the European Community aimed at developing employment opportunities for women in male-dominated fields, coinciding with the State of Hessen's efforts to boost public transportation usage for environmental reasons. This project sought to improve public transportation by establishing a network of on-call buses complementing regular bus lines while providing employment for women as bus drivers. The initiative was successful, leading to the employment of women as bus drivers who continued working even after the project concluded.
