Sustainable Mobility

The high dependency on road transport and cars and the low use of public transport contribute significantly to Slovenia’s carbon emissions. Transport emissions accounted for 42.7% of Slovenia’s total CO2 emissions in 2018, which is well above the EU average (32.6%), and continue to rise in absolute terms. Reforms and investments to promote sustainable mobility will therefore also be implemented as part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The reforms and investments under the "Sustainable Mobility" component aim to promote the use of public transport and rail passenger and freight transport, the use of alternative fuels in transport, and the digital transformation of road transport.

Reform of the organisation of public passenger transport

Public transport in Slovenia was severely affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 75 % fall in passenger numbers in 2020.

This reform aims to promote and enhance the accessibility and competitiveness of public transport to recover after the pandemic. The reform shall establish an integrated public passenger operator at the national level, which shall support the integration of rail and bus public transport with intercity, urban, school and labour transport. The reform aims to significantly improve the accessibility standard for public transport.

The reform shall be implemented with the entry into force of a new law on public passenger transport and the establishment and entry into operation of a new integrated public transport operator.

Reform of the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure

The aim of the reform is to increase the use of alternative fuels in domestic and cross-bordertransport and to reduce the share of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions from transport. In particular, the reform shall designate an entity to coordinate the needs of the transport and energy sectors, which shall ensure and coordinate the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and hence make the transition to zero and low emission mobility more resilient.

The reform shall be implemented with entry into force of an Act on alternative fuels in transport and alternative fuels infrastructure which shall also establish a national regulatory framework in the field of alternative fuels in transport.

Increasing capabilities of the railway infrastructure – investment

The objective of this measure is to increase railway infrastructure capacity.

The measure consists of upgrading Grosuplje, Domžale, Nova Gorica and Ljubljana - phase A (Dunajska overpass) railway stations and the reconstruction of 49 kilometers of railway lines Kranj-Jesenice and Ljubljana-Brezovica-Borovnica.

Digitalisation of road infrastructure – investment

The objective of this measure is to establish a system for coordinating and improving traffic flow.

This measure consists of 70 km of roads covered with a traffic control and management system and new equipment for the centralised national roads and motorways control centre.

Promoting the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in transport – investment

The investment shall co-finance the deployment of recharging or refuelling infrastructures for alternative fuels. Those shall include 368 recharging points for electric vehicles for general use. Further 80 additional recharging points shall be owned by state administration and dedicated for performing of administrative tasks.

Based on of a preliminary analysis of the existing situation and future needs for such infrastructure, critical areas will be identified in which financial incentives will be primarily directed, thus ensuring an adequate geographical dispersion of recharging or refuelling infrastructure for alternative fuels in transport.
