The City of Bonn is responsible for local public transport in Bonn. As a framework plan, the local transport plan forms the basis for the medium to long-term development of Bonn's public transport system. It is intended to create a viable and financially realistic basis for the design of local public transport and ensure a coordinated approach by all parties involved.

For the new local transport plan, the general framework conditions, such as the legal basis, the organization of local public transport and aspects of higher-level spatial planning, are first analysed. The objectives of the city of Bonn with regard to urban and transport development as well as environmental and climate protection also play a role. In addition, the local transport plan sets quality standards such as minimum requirements for the service in the areas of operation and infrastructure, but also goes further in areas such as service, information, personnel, sales and marketing. Accessibility is also an important topic in local public transport.

Close cooperation with the local transport companies, primarily Stadtwerke Bonn Verkehrs-GmbH, is particularly important for the development of the new local transport plan. It is also important to involve the Rhein-Sieg district and the city of Cologne, with which inter-municipal public transport connections exist. In addition, the involvement of the Bonn Disabled Community and other public bodies and associations (e.g. go.Rheinland, Verkehrsclub Deutschland) is an integral part of the redrafting of the local transport plan.
