Interessensgruppe Bürgerbus Dettingen

The interest group aims to improve mobility for people in Dettingen an der Erms. In particular, it seeks to support individuals who, due to age, limited mobility, or a lack of public transport connections, cannot always travel independently. Through volunteer efforts and collaborative planning, the group intends to create a citizen bus service that makes daily life easier and strengthens social participation.

The interest group Bürgerbus Dettingen is an open association of citizens who are actively involved in planning, developing, and potentially implementing a citizen bus service for Dettingen an der Erms.

The central focus is on how mobility within the municipality and to key facilities can be improved. The group evaluates experiences from other citizen bus projects, discusses potential routes, reviews organizational prerequisites, and recruits volunteer drivers.

The group sees itself as a platform for exchange, co-creation, and shared learning. Anyone interested can contribute with ideas, experiences, or hands-on effort—regardless of whether they plan to drive, organize, or simply advise in the future.

In the long term, the citizen bus is intended to help connect people better, ease journeys, and enhance the quality of life in Dettingen an der Erms. In particular, older people, those without their own vehicle, and citizens with limited mobility could benefit from such a service.

The interest group works on a volunteer basis, transparently, and with a focus on community. Together, we want to find out whether and how a citizen bus for Dettingen can be realized—for more mobility, more participation, and more cohesion in our community. 🚐💚
