Adviser, City of Ljubljana, Department for public services
and transport
1. MAIN LOCAL TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY
ISSUES IN LJUBLJANA
– Increase of daily trips specially with personal cars, day to
day traffic jams with increased negative impact on environment
and increased external costs
– Reduced share of public transport compared to personal
car and stagnation of urban public transport passengers and
poor image of public transport in city and region is observed
– Positive trend of new jobs in Ljubljana, process of
suburbanization with increase of trips, prolonged average trip
time and distance (mainly due to more than 120.000 commuters
from other municipalities)
– A need for restriction of the uncontrolled suburban sprawl
of low-density housing and big shopping centres on motorway
ring;
– Increased accessibility and attraction of Ljubljana with personal
cars due to completion of national highway network
– Insufficient traffic network, especially for public transport
– Adoption of transport policy at national level is still pending,
limited competences of local communities on regional transport
policy, regions have not yet been formally set up, promotion of
development through road infrastructure build-up
– Ineffective initiatives for promoting regional integrated transport
development due to lack of financing (next steps towards
implementation of Tram – Train project)
