Regiotram: Regional Public Transport Vision for Groningen-Assen 2030

A policy document outlining the rationale and design for a high-quality regional public transport network called Kolibri within the Groningen-Assen National Urban Network. The document, published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, addresses urban accessibility challenges, citing 125,000 jobs in Groningen and 160,000 daily regional commuters, 74% of whom travel by car. It proposes the Kolibri network as a solution to prevent economic blockage and support the Regional Vision Groningen-Assen 2030.
