Hennef Im Siegbogen and Eitorf are the INCLUSION Pilot Sites in Germany. They are located in the Rhein-Sieg Region, not far from the cities of Bonn and Cologne. Hennef Im Siegbogen is a new development area within the municipality of Hennef and it provides more affordable housing for families with children living in the area. Eitorf is a town where several redevelopment projects are taking place and with local recreational areas for walking and cycling. Both sites have good access to public and private transport for commuters to nearby cities of Bonn and Cologne, but access for the daily multichain trips for families with younger children is not at the same level. Among the planned measures within INCLUSION, the German pilots will be conducting surveys to identify the needs of families with young children. After the analysis of the survey, the current status of the public transport offer should be adapted, and/or conceptual changes need to be established, according to the following question: “What kind of offer, services and support do families with young children need in order to be able to participate fully in society?” The identification of these needs will help in shaping a new public transport offer.
