The European Mobility Week will take place from September 16 to 22

In 2021, the inhabitants of Slovenia completed 29 % of their daily journeys in an economical way: on foot, by bicycle or by public transport. Expenditures for transport represented a 17% share in the final consumption of households. The number of passengers in public transport was lower last year than a decade ago.

The theme of this year's European Mobility Week: Economical routes

Generalni direktorat za mobilnost in promet pri Evropski komisiji od leta 2002 organizira evropski teden mobilnosti. Ta poteka med 16. in 22. septembrom, zadnji dan pa je tradicionalno namenjen dnevu brez avtomobila. Letošnja tema Economical routes nas spodbuja k hoji, h kolesarjenju in k uporabi javnega prevoza, torej k varčnejšim in aktivnejšim načinom premikanja s pozitivnimi vplivi na telo, okolje in prostor. Države članice Evropske unije so se zavezale, da bo povezava dosegla podnebno nevtralnost do leta 2050. Prebivalci Slovenije opravijo več kot dve tretjini (67 %) svojih dnevnih poti z avtomobili – zaveze naj bi prispevale k spremembam naših potovalnih navad ter nas preusmerile k lokalno in planetarno var(č)nejši mobilnosti.

A third of the women made their journeys in an economical way

Leta 2021 so prebivalci Slovenije (stari 15–84 let) 29 % svojih dnevnih poti opravili na varčen način, torej peš, s kolesom ali z javnim prevozom – ženske so tako opravile 32 % svojih poti, moški pa 26 %. Gledano po starostnih skupinah so bili najvarčnejši v najstarejši (71–84 let) in najmlajši (15–25 let) skupini, saj so opravili 44 oz. 40 % svojih poti z javnim prevozom, peš ali s kolesom.

The number of passengers in public passenger transport has declined in the last decade

In recent years, different types of tickets (free, subsidized, family, single) have been available to users, with which the relevant ministry is working to improve the accessibility of public transport. Regardless of the mentioned incentives, the number of passengers decreased in the previous year compared to 2013, namely in urban transport by 21 %, in intercity bus transport by 3 % and in internal railway transport by 13 %.

During the same period, the number of registered passenger cars increased by 14 %. In 2013, there were 516 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, and in 2022 there were 571. In that year, every Slovenian household had an average of 1.4 cars.

In the period 2012-2021, the number of cars per 1,000 inhabitants decreased only in Lithuania

Leta 2021 je bilo v državah članicah EU povprečno 567 registriranih osebnih avtomobilov na 1.000 prebivalcev. Največ so jih imeli na Poljskem in v Luksemburgu (687 oz. 681 avtomobilov na 1.000 prebivalcev), najmanj pa v Romuniji in Latviji (400 oz. 404 avtomobilov). V 10 letih, torej od leta 2012, se je kljub politikam, kakor je evropski zeleni prehod, število avtomobilov na 1.000 prebivalcev v državah članicah EU povečalo za 16 %, v Sloveniji za 9 %. Najizraziteje je zraslo v Romuniji (za 79 %) in na Poljskem (za 40 %), le v Litvi se je število avtomobilov zmanjšalo za 3 %.

The share of expenditure on transport is the highest in Slovenia, the lowest in Slovakia

Among the EU member states, Slovenia had the highest share of final consumption expenditure by households on transport. In 2021, transport expenditures in final consumption accounted for 16.9 %. Lithuania followed with a 15.3% share.

In Slovenia, the majority of expenditures were intended for the purchase of passenger cars and their maintenance (repairs, fuel). Among the EU member states, Slovenian households have the lowest share of expenses related to transport services.
