German term or phrase: Bevorranungsmassnahmen
From a website of an Austrian municipal public transportation company :

Ein weiteres Thema, dass die UserInnen immer wieder bewegt, sind BEVORRANUNGSMAßNAHMEN und Ampelschaltungen. Dies haben wir zum Anlass genommen, um auf eine Befragung hinzuweisen, die von der Stadt XXX zum Thema „Die Suche nach den nervigsten Ampeln in XXX“ durchgeführt wurde.

TIA for any help.

transit priority techniques
Explanation:
Public Transport Priority at Traffic Signals
Public Transport Priority increases Attractiveness and Cost Efficiency
...
So, speeding up public transport is a win-win situation: more ridership and less costs. There are many ways to increase public transport speed. In general, these techniques are called transit priority techniques or, when bundled together, Bus Rapid Transit.
...
Traffic Signal Priority

An important transit priority technique is providing priority to buses and trams at traffic signals. This means that when a bus or tram approaches a traffic signal, the traffic signal turns green, thus allowing the transit vehicle to proceed through the signal without stopping.

"Eine Bevorrangung der Straßenbahn hätte somit die gleiche Wirkung wie eine Tariferhöhung, es käme mehr Geld herein", sagte Chorherr. Daher kündigen die Grünen an, Tariferhöhungen nicht zur Kenntnis zu nehmen und zu diesem Thema entsprechende Anträge einzubringen.
