The VVO team

The VVO mediates between the interests of passengers, companies and policy makers.

Together we are developing a high quality local transport network for Dresden and the region as a whole.

The Finance department is responsible for the association's budget and for distributing revenues between the association's transport companies.

It upgrades the VVO tariff, monitors SPNV (regional rail) transport contracts, and looks after the transport association's basic contracts.

This department shapes the VVO's image. Functions range from generating printed media, through creating promotional campaigns, providing a presence at events, organising conferences and websites, blog and Facebook pages.

The department represents the VVO outwardly, and mediates with passengers. It is the point of contact for the press, publishes press releases, publishes the VVO's customer magazine and the association's reports, and provides information to the information hotline and head office.

The department fulfils two core functions. On the one hand, it advises the association on all legal matters. It provides legal support for contracts, contract awards and committee work. On the other hand, the department is the point of contact for all personnel matters, from recruitment to employee support and offboarding.

The department deals with any sales-related issues within the VVO: Working with the transport companies, it makes it easier to buy tickets, agrees partnerships with cultural, sporting, social and tourist bodies, develops new sales channels and keeps all the company's staff informed about tariffs and timetables.

The department manages rail transport tenders, organises regional rail transport and works with the companies to coordinate timetables throughout the VVO area. The department is also responsible for the information media and for processing the association's data.

The Kompetenzcenter Sachsen-Tarif is financed by the state government and develops a single fare system for trips between Saxon transport associations. Is was established at the VVO but cooperates closely with the State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport as well as the other Saxon transport associations.
