Slovenia has participated in the European Mobility Week (EMW) initiative from the very beginning. Its implementation has become an important form of promotion and encouragement of sustainable mobility planning in the last decade. Since the beginning of the implementation in 2002 165 Slovenian municipalities have participated in the EMW initiative at least once, and 7 municipalities every year. The number of participating municipalities has increased over the years and has already reached almost 80% of Slovenian municipalities.

Slovenia is at the infamous top of European countries in terms of the share of household expenditure on personal mobility. In Slovenia, households spent 17,5 % of household funds on personal mobility in 2022, namely 11,6 % for operation and 5,2 % for the purchase of vehicles. A smaller share, 0,8 %, was allocated to public transport. This does not take into account the annual depreciation cost of the car, which is the main cost for personal mobility in many households.

The average age of the passenger car fleet in Slovenia has been steadily increasing; over the past thirty years, it has risen by almost four years — from 6.8 years in 1992 to 11.1 years in 2023. Over the past two decades, the share of cars older than 12 years has been continuously growing, by around 50% each decade. At the same time, the share of cars less than three years old has been steadily declining — by roughly 30% per decade.

Slovenia is a net importer of food, as imports exceed exports in terms of value. After accession to the European Union, both trade flows began to increase significantly. Imports increased more intensely, mainly due to processed products, while exports increased due to unprocessed agricultural products. In the past decade, however, the growth of food and beverages exports has been more intensive than that of imports, resulting in improved import coverage, which averaged 65% in the period 2020–2024.

In the first decade of this century, Slovenia directed most of its investments into the road network, primarily the construction of the motorway cross. The railways, on the other hand, were largely neglected in terms of investment, making them uncompetitive compared to road transport.
