About Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD) Landesverband Baden-Württemberg e.V.

The VCD is a non-profit environmental association that has been working for people since 1986 to achieve climate-friendly, safe and healthy mobility. Our goal is to make the traffic turnaround so that all people, whether in the city or in the countryside, can travel by bus, train, bike, on foot and with shared vehicles and no one is dependent on their own car anymore. So that in future our mobility is comfortable, safe and affordable and the traffic is climate-friendly, free of pollutants and cost no one's life. The traffic turnaround ensures that instead of sheet metal, noise and tightness in the cities, there is room for staying, playing, encountering and breathing through.

Der VCD ist ein gemeinnütziger Umweltverband, der sich seit 1986 für eine klimaverträgliche, sichere und gesunde Mobilität für Menschen einsetzt. Unser Ziel ist die Verkehrswende, damit alle Menschen, egal ob in der Stadt oder auf dem Land, mit Bus, Bahn, Rad, zu Fuß und mit geteilten Fahrzeugen unterwegs sein können und niemand mehr auf ein eigenes Auto angewiesen ist. Damit in Zukunft unsere Mobilität komfortabel, sicher und bezahlbar ist und der Verkehr das Klima schont, frei von Schadstoffen ist und niemanden das Leben kostet. Die Verkehrswende sorgt dafür, dass es statt Blech, Lärm und Enge in den Städten, Raum zum Verweilen, Spielen, sich Begegnen und zum Durchatmen gibt.
