Ueli Stückelberger

Ueli Stückelberger is the director of the Swiss Association of Public Transport (VöV), where he has been an influential advocate for the financing and expansion of the railway infrastructure in Switzerland. With a background in public transportation policy, Stückelberger played a pivotal role in the successful 2014 referendum that established a dedicated fund for rail maintenance and expansion. Currently, he is leading efforts to mobilize public support for a new vote aimed at extending the funding mechanism for the railway infrastructure fund, which faces financial pressures amid rising costs and increasing demands on the rail system. His leadership is crucial as the public transport sector navigates challenges related to funding and project prioritization in the context of Switzerland's growing population and evolving transportation needs.
