The Connect2CE project (EU Interreg Central Europe; https://www.interreg-central.eu/Content.Node/CONNECT2CE.html) aims to improve rail connections and smart mobility in Central Europe by promoting innovative public transport solutions related to in particular the effective connectivity of public transport in rural, border and cross-border areas. The basis for the proposed strategy was three consultation workshops with stakeholders in border and cross-border public transport. Regional strategies to improve the accessibility of border and cross-border regions are characterized by the use of the main results of pilot project activities, which are disseminated through a more strategic approach and vision. Slovenian partners (in the SŽ Group: Prometni institut Ljubljana d. o. o. and SŽ-Potniški promet, d. o. o.) participated in the pilot activities PA2 and PA6. Project duration: June 2017-May 2020.

Main contents of this Deliverable: A) Organization and management analysis of public passenger transport (PPT) in Slovenia; - Analysis ot the existing management of the PPT system; - Organization and manner of passenger transport provision; - The development and management of the station infrastructure; - Analysis of information support to the PPT system; - Definition of the sources of financing the PPT; - Analysis of the financial flow between individual players in the PPT/IPPT system; - Analysis of the costs of managing and implementing PPT/IPPT and the coverage thereof; B) Alignment of the existing legislative regulation of the management and implementation of PPT in Slovenia with EU legislation; C) Analysis of survey questionnaires.

Project Connect2CE (EU Interreg Central Europe; https://www.interreg-central.eu/Content.Node/CONNECT2CE.html) aims at tackling the weak accessibility of regional, peripheral and cross-border areas of Central Europe by promoting new public transport services to link those areas to the urban areas where the main transport networks and hubs are located. The project has done so by elaborating harmonised and coordinated strategies and tools in three areas: connectivity, integrated ticketing, ICT tools. Duration of project: June 2017-May 2020.
