Cross -border mobility: progress in Freyung celebrated

The first specialist conference on the subject of "Regional mobility and tourism in the Niederbayern-Südböhmen-Pilsen border area" took place on the occasion of a significant step in the cross-border cooperation in Freyung. Around 60 participants from 34 different organizations came together to discuss the progress in mobility and tourism. Those present recruited from the districts of South Bohemia and Pilsen as well as the districts of Cham, Freyung-Grafenau, Passau, Rain and Straubing-Bogen.

representatives of transport companies, associations and municipalities were also present and brought their perspectives and experiences into the discussions. The conference, such as PNP.de , served above all to present the current state of the projects and to develop new ideas. The participants benefited from specialist departments and working groups that focused on the challenges and opportunities of cross -border cooperation.

structural weakness and development potential

The border area in Bavaria, which is considered structurally weak compared to other regions, faces a wide range of challenges, especially in rural areas. A central concern is the expansion of Bavarian-Czech cooperation, which is seen as an important instrument to strengthen the border area. Innovative ideas and the commitment of local actors, coupled with cross -border projects, are crucial for the positive development of this region.

A supporting measure represents the funding guideline for the Bavarian-Czech border area (byczför), which was introduced in accordance with stmfh.bayern.de . This guideline promotes forward -looking projects in the rural area of ​​the Lower Bavaria government districts, Upper Palatinate and Upper Franconia, whereby a cross -border component is imperative. Projects must treat at least two subject areas such as demography, culture, mobility and tourism in order to be eligible to apply.

funding opportunities and fields of action

The maximum funding amount is 100,000 euros per project year with a approval period of up to four years. If the funding is for the first time, the basic funding rate is up to 70%. In areas with special need for action, this funding rate can even be increased by up to 15%. In addition, projects that are inter -municipal or have a financial participation of the Czech side are also promoted.

The application requires contact with the responsible presentation 52 in the State Ministry of Finance and for Homeland, whereby the application must be submitted in double copy at least four weeks before the start of the project. Since 2016, over 30 cross -border projects have been funded, 24 of which have been successfully completed. These initiatives are a step in the right direction to meet the serious challenges in the border area.
