Free climate ticket for 18-year-olds starts in July
From July 1, 2024, anyone who has turned 18 since January 1 of this year and is registered in Austria can apply for a free climate ticket.
Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler, mobility expert POINT&, Lina Mosshammer and the Chairwoman of the Federal Youth Council, Rihab Toum, presented the free climate ticket for 18-year-olds at Vienna Central Station on Thursday.
Gewessler at the press conference: "In a phase of life in which all kinds of big decisions have to be made and the mobility of the rest of life is also shaped. I am delighted when many young people make a sustainable decision for climate protection and public transport as a result of our offer. Because they have noticed: Traveling by public transport is convenient, easy and practical."
"Many young people want to travel in a climate-friendly way (...) in this respect, the free climate ticket for their 18th birthday is a great and far-sighted measure that makes public transport even more affordable and attractive as a climate-friendly alternative," says Green youth spokesperson Ömer Öztaş.
