  • Rail Transport & Bike– an Alternative for Sustainable Mobility in Slovenia
    Seminar & Workshop RAIL TRANSPORT & BIKE– AN ALTERNATIVE FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY IN SLOVENIA Godec Inn, Borovnica, Slovenia May 11 2016 Slovenia is at present facing from one side an increasing challenges how to prevent traffic jams in largest urban centres and during main tourist season, reduce air pollution from traffic while from the other it is facing important decisions on investments in railway infrastructure, purchase of new passenger trains and implementation of an integrated public passenger transport. We believe it is a decisive moment for the future of sustainable transport and mobility in Slovenia and the decisions will effect and have an impact on developments in other countries in the region. When speaking on railway modernisation the political and media discourse is nowadays in Slovenia almost exclusively focused on freight transport whereas passenger's transport seems to be considered as disturbance in attempts of increasing and speeding of freight transport on rails. Most recently, it was proposed – in order to reduce the costs of high investment – that new rail track connecting the port of Koper with Divača railway junction should disregard transport of passengers. Passenger's railway transport in Slovenia is indeed declining as in recent decades comparatively few investments were made for shorten travel times and improve level of services and because Slovenia is lacking an implemented integrated public passenger transport policy. Demand for better bike carrying capacities of trains, more and better bike stands and bike parking facilities at railway stations and for an overall improvement of bike – train co-modality and inter-modality is not only increasing but is getting organised.

Two months later, the preparatory mission for the project was organized, and a team of both national and ECE experts was formed to carry out the review. The Governments of Albania, Hungary, Israel, Norway, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland made national experts available for the task. The Bilthoven Division of the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health contributed its expertise and resources for the preparation of the review of environmental health issues. The travel expenses of experts from countries in transition and from the ECE secretariat were covered by extra-budgetary funds, which had been provided by Austria, Finland, France, Netherlands and Norway. The successful conclusion of the project would not have been possible without the generous support from all these sources.
