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) Project presentation l31 May 2006lLjubljanalMiloš Bajt
