The climate crisis and other challenges of our time demand that scientific findings be put into practice much faster than before. The Policy Lab started in September 2022 to support politics and administration in the urgently needed transformation of our mobility system and thus accelerate the change towards sustainability and climate neutrality.

Our Approach. Implementing innovative, sustainable mobility solutions still faces considerable barriers in practice. These include the high complexity of the issues, insufficient availability of data and decision-making bases, uncertainties regarding the resulting effects, a complicated landscape of actors, or unclear federal responsibilities (federal government, federal states, municipalities). The Policy Lab supports public authorities and public sector bodies in politics and administration in overcoming these barriers by supporting the development and implementation of sustainable mobility measures.

Our Offer. The Policy Lab's work focuses on challenges and tasks presented to the Lab by the federal government, federal states, regions, cities, municipalities, or other public bodies. The Lab analyses the current situation, existing approaches, specific actor constellations, and existing barriers to implementation. Based on this, a needs-oriented set of support measures for realizing future-oriented mobility measures is compiled and implemented from the Lab's service portfolio.

Our Services. The various support measures provided by the Policy Lab include:

• Good practice analysis
• Preparation of foundations for evidence. and data-based decision making
• Development of concepts and recommendations for action
• Implementation of dialogue and participatory processes
• Impact simulations and impact assessments
• Storytelling, narrative development & communication
• Learning from the experience of others and building a Community of Practice

Implementation is carried out in cooperation with the Policy Lab's partners and a supplementary pool of external experts.
