End border checks, expand cross-border transit
The Greens want to deepen cooperation with France, Luxembourg and Belgium and with the state's partner regions. Cross-border local transit is to grow, and the Deutschlandticket (nationwide transit pass) is to be valid in adjacent regions of neighboring countries. At the federal level, the party wants an end to checks at the EU's internal borders.
The Greens want to work more closely with neighboring countries. Buses and trains should run better across the border. The Deutschlandticket should also be valid just across the border. Checks at borders inside Europe should end.
The four-region network with the partner regions Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Opole and Central Bohemia is to be strengthened. The party wants to expand cross-border local passenger transit and coordinate transit plans among neighboring regions. European youth work is to grow, and funding is to stay easy to access for small projects as well. The party intends to press for the end of border checks at the federal level.
