Synopsis
Ljubljana's involvement in sustainable mobility is growing. The main objectives of Ljubljana's transport policy are to:
The Municipality has drawn up a Traffic Plan and a Mobility Plan for the city and is working to improve the pedestrian and cycle networks, by extending the cycle network and providing additional cycle racks at important locations. It has also closed the old city centre to motor vehicles on weekends and promotes intermodality (P&R, B&R). A further extention of parking regulations to outer city districts is to be implemented. Public transport is also being promoted: a leaflet has been published containing full information on public transport - timetables, on-street and garage parking (with a map and tariffs), Park and Ride facilities and bicycle racks. The City of Ljubljana regularly participates in sustainable urban mobility campaigns or initiatives such as the "In town without my car!" campaign (involving all citizens), the "Safe Walk to School" programme (for year 1 school children), the "Cycling Licence" programme (for children under the age of 14) and checks on cycle equipment. The "In town without my car!" Day provides an opportunity for making citizens aware of air pollution and for promoting sustainable modes of transport. During the Car Free Day (every year), flower pots are put on a total of 300 parking places (approx. 10% of all city center parking places) from 8 am until 6 pm. This is aimed to encourage drivers not to drive and park in the city centre. Drivers are encouraged not to park cars in the street parking places of their own free will, and some thought to other ways of commuting and going into the city centre are given to them.
