REgional centres of MOBILity

Slovenia does not have a regional administrative level, which is a weakness in mobility planning and management. Practices from abroad confirm usefulness of transferring part of competences to regional level. This will increase the flow of information and speed with which local authorities and State can adapt actions, but it requires an adaptation of the system and legislation. The main objective of the project is to reduce negative environmental impacts of transport resulting from the non-use of sustainable mobility (SM) at local, regional and national level. This will be achieved by modelling and testing 6 regional centres of mobility (RCM), training experts and raising awareness among public. We also emphasise close cooperation with Ministry of Infrastructure that is necessary to secure any systemic changes. Specific objectives thus address an improved system of planning and management of SM, professional capacity, cooperation and involvement of key stakeholders, and a higher level of awareness of the importance of SM among public. The NEPN 2020 sets a decarbonisation target of +12% in the transport sector by 2030 compared to 2005. The annual GHG emissions (kt CO2 equivalent) in 2005 were 4,416 kt, which means that target is to reach 4,945.92 kt CO2 per year by 2030. With CO2 emissions in 2017 at 5,541 kt, additional CO2 reduction measures are needed to reach the target. ReMOBIL addresses the challenges through a learn, test, disseminate, policy change approach, within the framework of set activities. First WP is dedicated to knowledge capitalisation, learning and model building. 2nd WP is dedicated to launch and testing of six Regional Mobility Centres (RMCs) and an APP for MaaS. In parallel, other thematic WP’s will include trainings for professionals and awareness-raising campaigns for public. Strategic Council and consultation with the Ministry of infrastructure is established in order to transfer knowledge to other areas in Slovenia and introduce systematic changes. The main ReMOBIL results are: regional mobility management modell, a pilot network of 6 RCMs, trained experts and a higher level of awareness among Slovenian population. All will lead to change in the system and an improvement in the management of SM in Slovenia.
