The last train leaves at 00:12 on weekdays in Ede. This reduces the freedom of our residents and stimulates that more people have to travel by car at night. Just think about how early you have to leave a dinner with friends or a party in for example Rotterdam, if you want to return to Wageningen. It is difficult to keep the trains running until later, but at this point in time no municipality is even attempting to. Moreover, we can already commit ourselves to realize night buses to, for example, Ede, Arnhem or Nijmegen. The first steps have been taken with a night bus to Utrecht, but more should be possible, and we are committed to realize this.

• Change the streetscape: Bikes should be predominant on small roads, and cars on bigger roads.
• Ambitious and refreshing – alternative means of transport and (Almost) car-free city center
• Connecting Wageningen to the public transport night network
• Tackling Wageningen Municipality's fleet
• Realize the traffic tunnel at Bornsesteeg

Successfully fought hard for a tunnel at the intersection Nijennordallee / Churchillweg

In the previous elections we were regularly called naive, because we have always argued for a bicycle and/or car tunnel at this location. In the end, partly because of our insistence on the province, this was anchored in the plans. So you see that young people who read reports are more reliable than politicians, who think they know how the world works because of their years of experience in politics. The province is prepared to cover most of the costs for this and the part that the municipality has to contribute is also available in a reserve. The plans are also to widen the rest of the route to and around the campus and to promote traffic flow. We keep a close eye on these processes and plans so that the design in the film also becomes reality. This tends to vary quite a bit.

Opted for better public transport to and from Wageningen

Like most parties, we have committed ourselves to better public transport from and to Wageningen and we have drawn frequent attention to this. In many large-scale projects, such as the development of Dreijen and Born Oost, we have paid extra attention to access via public transport.

Focusing on traffic situations to improve

Wageningen has become much safer in recent years. For example, 3 of the 6 traffic locations from our previous election program have been tackled, namely:

- On the Dijk, direction Argo and Vada, Crossroads Rabobank,

- The route Haarweg – Campus.

- Crossroads Rooseveltweg- Lawickse Allee, Holandseweg around Pantarijn

Unfortunately, the locations around the Leeuwenborch and Churchillweg around the Volkswagen dealer haven’t been addressed yet.

Attention to cycling in all construction projects

Over the past four years, we have worked in extra for cyclists. For example, the cyclist was the snowed-under child in the file for the campus tour if we did not opt for it every time.

Motion for night buses submitted

In addition to bicycle traffic, public transport was a significant point of focus. As a result of our motions, a night bus now runs between Wageningen and Utrecht. This can be seen as a good first step in connecting Wageningen to the night network.

Plans for express buses between WUR and Arnhem supported

The plans to realize an express bus between WUR and Arnhem are progressing slowly. We continue to support these developments.

Motion for speed reduction on the water submitted

We are also for safe traffic on the water. The motion for speed reduction on the water was therefore written by us. Unfortunately, the alderman has not yet been able to implement this successfully.

Voted against unnecessary traffic improvements

We voted against the plans to improve the traffic situation at the Jan Linders. We found these plans too expensive and not a top priority. Unfortunately, other parties have given this location priority. Why is a mystery to us, there are many locations that are much worse.

Free bicycle lights handed out every year

To improve road safety, we organize an annual campaign where we hand out free bicycle lights. We do this together with the municipality and other youth organisations. We mainly focus on young people and students, because the figures show that young people more often have bad bicycles and lack lighting.
