The SuCoLo project.
Text in Easy Read.
SuCoLo is an EU project.
These 3 cities are taking part in SuCoLo:
- Merano.
- Salzburg.
- And Leipzig.
People should protect the environment when shopping.
The environment includes:
- The earth.
- The water.
- And the air.
And the SuCoLo project wants to help people to do this.
Protect the environment.
People must protect the environment.
What happens if people do not protect the environment enough?
Then the climate changes.
Those changes can cause very heavy rainfall, for example.
With climate changes people’s lives become more difficult.
That is why people must protect the environment in their everyday lives.
People can, for example:
- Travel by bike.
- Walk.
- Drive less by car.
- And buy regional fruit and vegetables.
Regional means:
The fruit and vegetables come from farms nearby.
Sometimes it is difficult for people to protect the environment.
People often need their cars though.
For example, to go shopping.
That is because SuCoLo thought:
- People should protect the environment in their everyday lives.
- And people should drive less in their everyday lives.
- But how can we help people to do this?
This is what SuCoLo does in Merano.
There are now cargo bikes from SuCoLo in Merano.
A cargo bike is a kind of bike.
A cargo bike always has a big box.
The box is either at the front wheel or at the back wheel.
People can put different things in the box.
For example, their shopping.
This way people do not have to go shopping by car.
There are 2 ways to use the SuCoLo cargo bikes in Merano:
- People can hire the cargo bikes.
- And shops can use the cargo bikes and bring the shopping to people’s homes.
Everyone can borrow these cargo bikes.
You can borrow cargo bikes for free.
Are you borrowing a cargo bike for the first time?
Then you have to register.
Register is another word for sign up.
The MOQO app will verify your telephone number.
You must send a copy of your identity card or passport to the e-mail address movetogargo@sta.bz.it.
Then you must wait up to 3 working days for the confirmation of your registration.
The cargo bikes from SuCoLo have 3 wheels.
This makes the cargo bikes very stable.
Stable means that the cargo bikes will not tip over easily.
There is also a cargo bike from SuCoLo with just 2 wheels.
The cargo bikes also have a motor.
This means that older people can ride the cargo bikes too.
There is also an electric scooter
People with disabilities can also ride the electric scooters.
You can find more information about the electric scooters here.
Shops can also use cargo bikes to bring people their shopping.
The shops can bring shopping to people’s homes.
Or the shops can take shopping to a pick-up station.
A pick-up station is a large cabinet with lots of boxes.
People can then collect their shopping from the pick-up station.

And you can then get your shopping from this box.
But you must get your shopping within 24 hours.
The pick-up station is open from Monday to Friday from 7 to 19.
The pick-up station is accessible to all people.
Accessible means:
All people must be able to use the pick-up station.
That is because there are no steps, for example.
And all texts are easy to read.
People with disabilities should also be able to use the pick-up station.
Where is the pick-up station?
The pick-up station is in the courtyard of the horse racing track.
The horse racing track is close to “Merano Maia Bassa” train station.
Opposite the horse racing track is also the “MIND Meran.o” office.
The address of the horse racing track is:
Via delle Palade 86.

There is a large gate in front of the horse racing track.
Do you want to go to the pick-up station?
Then you must first go through the gate. Behind the gate, turn right.
Then walk straight ahead for 50 meters.
50 meters is about 100 steps.
This is the way from the horse racing track to the grandstand.
People watch horse races from a grandstand.
Look for stairs at the grandstand.
Under these stairs is a glass door.
The pick-up station is next to this glass door.
You can also get to the pick-up station by bike.

Inclusion is important for SuCoLo.
Inclusion means:
All people have the same rights.
And all people should be able to take part in everything.
For example:
People with disabilities should be able
to move around a city easily.
This is why SuCoLo said:
The pick-up station must be accessible to all people.
The SuCoLo pick-up station is located near
“Merano Maia Bassa” train station.
You can find more information about the pick-up station here.
There will be an electric scooter from SuCoLo in Merano too.
People with disabilities should also be able to use the electric scooter.
That is why the electric scooter is accessible.
You can find more information about the electric scooter here.
This is also important for SuCoLo:
People that live in the outer areas of a city should be able to travel easily.
Some people live in the center of a city.
And some people live in the outer areas of a city.
How do people living in the outer areas go shopping?
These people often have to drive to the city by car.
This is a problem for many people.
SuCoLo wants to do something for people living in the outer areas.
And SuCoLo has an idea.
The idea is called: 15-minute city.
This means:
Do you live in the outer areas of a city?
Then you should be able to get into the city in 15 minutes.
For example: by cargo bike.
This is important for SuCoLo:
- There should be more cargo bikes in the outer areas.
This way people can borrow cargo bikes.
And people do not need their cars as often. - There should be more pick-up stations in the outer areas.
This way people from the outer areas do not have to drive
into the city to go shopping.
This is what SuCoLo does for the outer areas of Merano.
SuCoLo has opened a pick-up station
near “Merano Maia Bassa” train station.
The “Merano Maia Bassa” train station is in an outer area of Merano.
This means:
People who live in Maia Bassa can pick up their shopping
at the pick-up station.
And these people do not have to travel by car.
This way, people can protect the environment.
You can find more information about the pick-up station in Merano here.

SuCoLo in Salzburg and Leipzig.
Salzburg
The people of Salzburg are thinking:
Many people shop on the internet.
But how can people shop on the internet
and protect the environment?
The people in Salzburg would like to create an online shop.
An online shop is a website.
On this website, people can buy different things.
In this online shop, people should be able to see:
This is how we can protect the environment.
The people in Leipzig are thinking:
The pick-up stations should be accessible to all people.
That is why there will be a new project in Leipzig.
In this project, we will look closely at how we can make
the pick-up stations accessible to everyone.
In Leipzig, people should get their shopping brought to their homes.
The shops should bring the shopping to people’s homes
by bike or cargo bike.
And Leipzig should have a new website.
On this website, people should be able to see:
This is how we can protect the environment.
Leipzig
SuCoLo is an EU project.
