Key message
Neutral

Both the residents of the EU-27 countries and the residents of Slovenia are only partially aware of the problem of increasing transport and its consequences for the environment and health. Public awareness of the impact of transport on the environment is still relatively low, although the differences between European countries are considerable. People's awareness of the environmental problems of transport does not automatically lead to changing their travel habits, even though this would contribute to their better health.

Goals

  • To enhance public information provision, awareness and education on environmental policy.

(General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020 ‘Living well, within the limits of our planet’)

  • To raise awareness and inform various target groups on sustainable mobility and awareness raising about available alternatives to conventional modes of individual passenger transport

(Resolution on the transport policy of the Republic of Slovenia [REPPRS] [Intermodality: time for synergy], White Paper, Operational Programme for the Implementation of the EU Cohesion Policy in the period 2014 – 2020)

  • To raise people's environmental awareness and change travel habits in cities through measures to promote walking, cycling and the use of public transport and by promoting sustainable multi-modal urban mobility.

(Resolution on the transport policy of the Republic of Slovenia [REPPRS] [Intermodality: time for synergy], Operational Programme for the Implementation of the EU Cohesion Policy in the period 2014 – 2020)

  • To increase mobility by including service users in integral public transport, whose attractive prices and quality of service will stimulate passengers to switch from private to public passenger transport

(Resolution on the transport policy of the Republic of Slovenia [REPPRS] [Intermodality: time for synergy])

  • To establish an efficient system of rail and bus public passenger transport

(Resolution on the transport policy of the Republic of Slovenia [REPPRS] [Intermodality: time for synergy])

  • To carry out financially undemanding measures to increase mobility, with particular focus on the initiative to develop a network of cycling infrastructure.

(Resolution on the transport policy of the Republic of Slovenia [REPPRS] [Intermodality: time for synergy])

  • Transport policy measures in the fields of increasing mobility and promoting the development of the cycling and pedestrian infrastructure network should result in an increase in the length of uninterrupted cycling trails, an increased number of users of public passenger transport and reduced air pollution in city centres.
