The construction stop for the Lobau Tunnel in December 2022 ensured that the already tense traffic situation in the Austrian eastern region was discussed more broadly.
With the Future Council of Transport, which builds on the experience of local citizens' councils and the Future Council of Democracy, the association Respekt.net initiated a participatory process in which a sustainable transport concept for the entire eastern region together with the affected population is to be developed.
From the second implementation phase (March 2023) onwards, the IHS is responsible for the external evaluation of the project looking at the process, output and impact and draws comparisons between the Future Council of Transport and the Future Council of Democracy from 2021.
