Benefits of membership and proposed measures

What do we expect from the grouping?

Key benefits for your company, your city or your municipality, and the public and non-governmental sector. We assessed the state of the infrastructure, defined the circumstances and the problem we are addressing, and prepared a whole series of solutions, and proposals for short-term and medium-term measures by region, including cross-border regions of neighboring countries.
Key economic benefits
Better interregional and international connectivity between regions in six countries.
Everyone should be able to get to work, school, study or travel in their free time and on holiday using a sustainable form of transport, preferably by train and other forms of public passenger transport.

There is no reason why anyone should travel within Slovenia or across the border to neighboring EU countries, either to/from Italy, to/from Austria, to/from Slovakia, to/from Hungary or to/from Croatia, by car. We will provide daily comfortable, safe and efficient transportation both to/from central Slovenia and especially to/from the border regions of Slovenia.
Infrastructure benefits
Automated railway lines, multi-level railway crossings and intermodal hubs, stations and stops. No more traffic jams at rush hour!
Cities and municipalities will get a radically modernized and upgraded railway infrastructure: railway lines, stations, and stops with appropriate bus stops, and the introduced standard of multi-level railway crossings and intersections with roads. In this way, we will enable the coexistence of all types of mobility, both for passenger and freight traffic.

Residents of all cities and municipalities, with appropriate support for the presented proposals, will have efficient and sustainable and user-friendly access to railway stations and stops for all types of users. All over Slovenia and the border regions, from East to West and back. No more road traffic jams.
Routes, frequencies and timetables
Intercity buses as delivery and transfer for railways. No duplication and inadequate routes, frequencies, and timetables!
In society, we need the mobility of the population, not only in the economy but also in the public and non-governmental sectors. Daily, even several-hour journeys to work by personal transport, non-coordination of intercity bus and rail public passenger transport timetables, cut-off of border regions, daily traffic jams in all city centres, industrial zones, city outskirts as well as on ring roads are completely unnecessary.

With the joint efforts of all stakeholders, both members and partners at the national and international level, we will ensure not only appropriate routes of intercity and cross-border bus traffic, but also coordinated frequencies and timetables of bus connections with railways, both to/from central regions and to/from border regions. With more appropriate routes and frequencies of public passenger, bus and rail transport, we will also enable new opportunities for rail and bus operators.
Situation and measures by groups of regions

Assessments of the situation, circumstances and proposals for measuresock

Based on the assessment of the situation and circumstances by a group of regions in Slovenia, including the border regions of neighboring countries, we formulated proposals for short- and medium-term measures. By submitting projects not directly to the European Commission, we ensure:

      • establishment of the missing and upgrading of the existing railway infrastructure;
      • establishment and upgrading of bus infrastructure, including subsidized purchase of buses;
      • establishment and upgrading of long-distance cross-border cycling infrastructure; not least through soft short-term measures
      • appropriate routes and frequencies of intercity bus traffic and coordinated timetables of trains and buses.

State of railway infrastructure and connections for Mura, Drava and Carinthia regions by municipalities and border regions of neighboring countries

REGIONS: MURA, DRAVA, CARINTHIA, SAVINJA, AND BORDER REGIONS 10 February 2023 0Comments
Two of the three railway lines in the Mura region are non-operating. The Drava region has fragmented routes and low frequency of railway connections. The Carinthian region has barely the only remaining railway line with very low frequencies of rail connections.
