Evaluation of the use of e-scooters in St. Anton am Arlberg

Evaluation of the use of e-scooters in St. Anton am Arlberg

On 18.06.2022 the region of St. Anton am Arlberg with the neighbouring villages of Pettneu am Arlberg, Schnann, Flirsch and Strengen started the mountain summer. The municipality of St. Anton am Arlberg, the St. Anton am Arlberg Tourism Association and the “Energie und Wirtschaftsbetriebe St. Anton am Arlberg” have decided to carry out a pilot test for e-scooters as an additional micro-mobility solution within the municipality for residents and tourists from 15.6.2022 to 30.9.2022. For this purpose, a cooperation with TIER Mobility has been established.

The aim of this project was to find out in a pilot test to what extent e-scooters in a rural community can contribute to a reduction of car traffic and to an improvement of local transport and thus to an improved accessibility of tourist and local offers. To this end, scientific evaluation of e-scooter use is needed in terms of:

  • the satisfaction of the users with the quality of the offer
  • the contribution to a mobility turnaround in rural areas.

This evaluation was carried out by Fresh Thoughts. The final report (in German) can be found here: St_Anton e-scooter final report
