11 Framework: Federal Policies in Germany Taxes and regulation make car use more expensive More funding for walking, cycling, and public transport Land-use planning is stricter and requires cooperation among levels of government Strategic leadership through national transport and land-use plans at the federal level Specific policies developed and implemented at the local level

53 Lessons for Implementing Sustainable Transport Policies Sustainable transport policies must be long term, with policies sustained over time, for lasting impact Policies must be multi-modal and include both incentives and disincentives Fully integrate transport and land-use planning Implement controversial policies in stages Plans should be adaptable over time to changing conditions Citizen involvement is an integral part of policy development and implementation
