Ministry of Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

"The future of mobility is digital, connected and, increasingly, driverless. Here in North Rhine-Westphalia we have created an impressive network of scientists, researchers, start-up companies, politicians and public administrators to swiftly capitalise on the opportunities digitalisation offers for better, safer and cleaner mobility. polisMOBILITY is therefore a perfect fit for Cologne. The mobility of the future will be researched, developed and become a tangible reality in North Rhine-Westphalia as quickly as possible. That’s because connected mobility solutions are needed to improve the experience of living in and visiting our cities and our rural and suburban areas.”

Ina Brandes, Minister of Transport for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

Alliance for Mobility of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

"Mobility of people and goods is constantly changing and is in increasing demand. Digitization opens up new mobility options for society and the economy, but also opportunities for quality improvements, effective and efficient processes, and reduced environmental and climate impact. Mobility is equally a prerequisite for social participation and for economic success, growth, prosperity and employment. Mobility must be thought of from the user's perspective."

Bundesverband Taxi und Mietwagen e.V.

"On Demand Mobility - that's what the taxi has been offering since 1897. Since then, the world has changed - and so has the taxi. And it doesn't stop there. Taxis were developed to meet the mobility needs of people in a world where owning a car was not commonplace. If we now want to return to a world that is not dominated by privately used vehicles, then the taxi can play significant part in the solution. Of course, under new circumstances: digitally connected, emission-free and as an integral part of public transport and urban planning. This is what polisMOBILITY stands for: for thinking outside the box, for the best of all worlds and for mobility of tomorrow. And that's also what taxis stand for."
