Until the last moment the decision to whom the transport planning award in 2010 will be awarded was kept secret. At the annual meeting of the Society for Urban, Regional and National Planning SRL in Berlin, the jury's decision was announced: The transport planning Prize 2010 goes to Bremen for the car-sharing action plan and the design of the mobil.punkt. "Bremen has introduced a novel and innovative combination of urban transportation modes" to the jury with the  car-sharing action plan.

The jury also commended the consequent design of the mobil.punkt and the associated  reduction of parking space demand by fostering  car-sharing.

Bremen would like to support  the development of car sharing by the the implementation of the car-sharing action plan. One goal of this plan is  to achieve by 2020 at least 20,000 car-sharing users. "What matters are the relief of road space and the environment" accented  Senator Reinhard Loske, very pleased with the traffic planning award. "In 2020 we can therefore expect a relief in the parking demand of about 5000-6000 cars." In 2010 alone were seven new mobil.punkt as car-sharing stations in the public streets implemented, where more than 40 cars of the Bremen Car-Sharing provider cambio can find place.

The interaction of urban design and transport planning was in this years focus by the Society for Urban, Regional and National Planning SRL and the VCD (German association of traffic participants, with focus on ecology). Car-sharing is seen here as an important element in order to relieve the road space from parking and to develop mobility services. Bremen is the first city that has created a professional development plan for car-sharing.
