EU funding for nearly 230 kilometers of new cycling routes across Slovenia
- Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy
The European Regional Development Fund will support the construction of 228 kilometers of new cycling routes across the whole of Slovenia. The newly developed cycling connections will allow Slovenian citizens to plan daily trips to and between local and regional centers and will link municipalities across the country. The 29 cycle projects that will receive support from the European Regional Development Fund pursue three common goals: to promote sustainable mobility, especially utility cycling, to improve traffic safety and to reduce pollution.
A total of EUR 111.1 million have been invested in cycling routes across Slovenia in the programming period 2014-2020 - EUR 92.3 million in the scope of the mechanism Agreement for regional development and a further EUR 18.8 million in the scope of the mechanism Integrated Territorial Investments.
