the Slovak Republic up to 2030 is a long-term strategic document that guides effective development of the transport sector and determines the implementation of its development vision. It is an output of Phase II of the preparation of the transport development strategy of the Slovak Republic up to 2030 and is the factual implementation of the set ex ante conditionalities. Therefore, the funding of development activities from EU funds for 2016-2020 directly depends on this document, ie its approval by the EC. The document was prepared in accordance with the Action Plan for the Preparation of the 2014-2020 Programming Period in the Transport Sector, as approved by the Working Group for the Programming in the Transport Sector in the 2014-2020 Programming Period at its second session in November 2012. Key Transport Sector Issues Key transport sector issues were identified after extensive analyses. The analytical part focused on individual transport modes divided into road, rail, public passenger, water and civil aviation transport and on the issues extending across transport modes, which limit multimodality in passenger and freight transport. One of the fundamental issues of the Slovak transport sector is the long-term negative development in the modal split in favour of road, in particular individual (non-public) transport. It should be noted that neighbouring European countries with similar economic development face similar issues. In 1995, the ratio of public and private transport was almost the same; in 2014, public transport accounts for only a quarter of total transport performance. The logical consequence of this situation is a disproportionate increase in individual vehicle transport (IVT), which will be a burden on the road infrastructure and the environment. A significant negative effect of roads congested beyond the permissible limit are time losses due to congestion, which has an indirect impact on economic activity of the population. Vision and Objectives of the Transport Sector The vision and objectives of the Slovak transport sector were set in accordance with European and national legislative and development documents, which set global visions and objectives, and the requirements of the various transport sub-sectors identified in analyses. As a result, the visions and objectives of the Slovak transport sector reflect European requirements and national interests and challenges that the sector faces. This approach ensures a sufficient level of integration of the Slovak Republic into the European transport area and the gradual elimination of internal issues and requirements. VISION FOR TRANSPORT SECTOR DEVELOPMENT UP TO 2030 A sustainable integrated multimodal transport system that meets society’s economic, social and environmental needs and contributes to the full integration of the Slovak Republic into the European Economic Area. Global strategic objectives were set in line with the above vision for the Slovak transport sector. They reflect the trends and requirements in the EU and national strategic and analytical documents. STRATEGIC GLOBAL OBJECTIVE 1 (SGO 1) Provision of equivalent access to settlements and industrial zones to support economic growth and social inclusion in all Slovak regions (national and EU scale) via non-discriminatory access to transport infrastructure and services. STRATEGIC GLOBAL OBJECTIVE 2 (SGO 2) Sustainable development of the Slovak transport system with emphasis on the generation and effective use of funds in relation to user requirements. STRATEGIC GLOBAL OBJECTIVE 3 (SGO 3) Increase in the competitiveness of transport modes in passenger and freight transport (opposites of road transport) by setting the corresponding operational, organisational and infrastructural parameters which will lead to an efficient integrated multimodal transport system supporting the economic and social needs of the Slovak Republic. Increase in the quality of transport planning in the Slovak Republic by definition of the optimal target value of the modal split in the Slovak Republic and specification of steps and tools to achieve it.

  • Applied Research of Transport Infrastructure for Slovak Capital Demand
    European Scientific Journal February 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition vol.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 APPLIED RESEARCH OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SLOVAK CAPITAL DEMAND Maria Puskelova, Ing. Lubica Ondrasikova, Ing. Economics University, Slovakia Abstract Bratislava as the capital of Slovakia is very important knot in Slovak business or tourism. That is why transport infrastructure plays very important role. The increase role of green bicycle transportation and the demand for sustainable tourism require building corresponding infrastructure for urban cyclists, cycle commuters and cycle tourists. The priority of government should be to develop this industry. They should also generate pressure on private entrepreneurs operating public transportation to mind the safety of their clients. It is also related to innovation and improving the quality of services that they provide. Keywords: Tourism, transportation, disabled clients, cyclists, cycling Introduction Public transportation in developed country should be automatically supported by Municipal Corporation as well as by government. Each day it transfers thousand inhabitants and tourist. Everybody who uses public transport relies on it and expects it will be in good condition. Many tourists come to cities and towns without their own means of transport and have to rely on public transport services. These visitor are given first destination feeling through contact with railway or airport premises and then with public transport to be able to reach the chosen point. The public transportation network including cycle infrastructure in Slovakia is managed by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development, as well as by specific cities and towns where they are or through which they pass.

  • European Commission
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 2 December 2013 EUR 189 million of regional funds for two priority transport projects connecting Slovakia with the rest of Europe The European Commission has approved today €189 million in total from the Cohesion Fund for two transport projects which will vastly improve Slovakia's connections with the rest of Europe and boost its economic development. Both projects are part of the Trans- European Transport Network (TEN-T). The first project "D1 Jánovce - Jablonov" firmly establishes the D1 motorway as the key Slovakia's transport corridor connecting the western part of the country to the east leading to the Ukrainian border. The project concerns construction of two road sections of 18.54 km on the D1 motorway (Bratislava – Žilina – Košice – Slovak/Ukrainian border) as well as the construction of 22 bridges and 5 noise barriers. This investment comes under the priority axes 2 "Road Infrastructure (TEN-T)" under the operational programme for transport in Slovakia. It ensures the connection from West- Slovakia to the East (Ukrainian border). The European Union, through the Cohesion Fund, will finance the project with €146.3 million out of a total investment of €172.1 million. The implementation is expected to create 500 jobs during construction. The second TEN-T project which has recently been completed, concerns a road section of 14.18 km on the R4 Košice-Milhosť and is part of the important TEN-T North-South corridor, connecting Slovakia with Hungary and Romania. It includes also the construction of two interchanges and 14 bridges and will receive funding under the priority axis 2 "Road Infrastructure – Expressways and First Class Roads" of €42.7 million out of a total investment of €50.3 million.
