Bremen budget 2026/27: More money for education and traffic decided!

Bremen, Deutschland - in Bremen are the signs of education and traffic: The red-green-red coalition has agreed on the cornerstones of households for the years 2026 and 2027. As the Weser Kurier should be made on the household values ​​on 17 June. The focus is on education and traffic.

A total of 20 million euros more for school and materials are intended for education. This should also be felt in digital education: Expenditures of around 10 million euros for iPads in 2026, followed by around 14 million euros in 2027.

traffic projects with foresight

But not only in education, the money will flow generously. The expansion of the Bremen route network for bus and tram contributes to improving climate protection. Around 8 million euros are planned for this, including the better connection of the tobacco district and the freight transport center. Bremen thus shows that it also makes it serious in local public transport.

Another aspect is the introduction of residents' parking to finance local public transport, where advisory board resolutions are already available. In addition, the free ticket for young people under the age of 18 remains, but it can no longer be redeemed at folk festivals. For 2024, costs of around 5.6 million euros are provided.

social living space design

A major concern of the city is also the housing: 4,000 new apartments are to be built in the next two years, 1200 of which are due to public funds. A social quota of 30 percent in construction ensures that even socially weaker groups are not neglected. This not only means more living space, but also a targeted promotion of the community.

In addition, two new medical care centers are set up in under -provisioned districts. The MVP-Bremen continues its work on health care for paperless and non-insured people. As part of the addiction aid, 5 million euros are available to take preventive and support.

efficient administration and port projects

Another point on the agenda is the increase in weekly working hours for civil servants to 41 hours. This legislative procedure is to be initiated shortly. In this context, the second appointment for promotions, from next year, will also be omitted. This step is viewed critically by many sides, but has potential for more efficient administration.

summarized it is shown that Bremen pursues ambitious goals with the planned budget design in both educational and traffic issues. This look into the future could be crucial for the quality of life and the development of the city.
