Among key projects for supporting and implementing sustainable mobility in the Ljubljana Urban Region is the setting up of a Park and Ride (P+R) parking network. It is one of the measures of Ljubljana – European Green Capital 2016.

P+R Dolgi most

One of already well-functioning and fully occupied parking areas is P+R Dolgi most at the south eastern part of the Tržaška Street. After its renovation and expansion it is going to have 363 parking spaces for private vehicles, 6 charging stations for electrical cars, 11 parking spaces for tourist buses and 10 for caravans. Bicycle stands are going to be set up and bicycles from the rental system Bicike(LJ) are going to be made available. Furthermore, construction of a fast food kiosk with refreshing beverages and newspapers is planned. The works carried out by the company Komunalne gradnje d.o.o. are expected to be concluded by 15 September 2015.

P+R Barje

At the south end of the Barjanska Street woks are underway for the construction and completion of the first phase of a new parking area, P+R Barje. In the first phase the parking area is going to be constructed at the motorway entrance on the east side of Barjanska Street and divided into northern and southern parking lots. 347 parking spaces for private vehicles are going to be set up along with 6 charging stations for electrical cars, cyclist are also going to have access to 177 bicycle stands and to the rental system Bicike(LJ). Therefore, P+R Barje is an important contribution to the expansion of the P+R centres on the outskirts of Ljubljana and an incentive to switch from private vehicles to public passenger traffic.

Ljubljana – European Green Capital 2016 for increased sustainable mobility

With the construction of the new parking area P+R Barje the City of Ljubljana is adding another stone in the mosaic of a comprehensive regional system with 23 planned P+R centres in the Ljubljana Urban Region, one of the measures of Ljubljana – European Green Capital 2016. Additional parking areas, transfer points designed to promote the use of public passenger traffic in the city and the bicycle rental system are enabling quick, cost-effective and comfortable access to the Ljubljana city centre, while new electric charging spaces are promoting electromobility. P+R parking areas will undoubtedly contribute to better quality of life in Ljubljana.
