Changes in the regulation of public transport in Ljubljana and the Ljubljana region, 2012

This is the second (comparative) research on the possibilities of improving traffic regulation in Ljubljana through an analysis of the perception of the hashing charge. The term ‘congestion charging’ denotes various road-traffic congestion management models through which road users (usually primarily users of private vehicles) are required to pay financial compensation for the use of a particular segment of the road network in a given, usually urban area. The very concept of the hashing charge is based on the assumption that the use of passenger vehicles in traffic in specific circumstances can produce various negative effects - externalities, and monetary compensation in this context acts as a mechanism for internalising these costs or compensating for them. In addition to measuring the respondents' views, opinions and perceptions about the possibility of introducing compensation for entering the city by car, the survey also questioned the respondents about other , measures that were supposed to be implemented as part of the CIVITAS Elan project, and in particular about the Park and Drive (P+R) system - parking lots on the edge of the city, primarily intended for commuters to the city, who were supposed to leave a personal car there and continue their journey with one of the other driving alternatives (city bus, bicycle). In addition to specific questions on both topics, the questionnaire also included questions with which we measured other relevant sociocultural dimensions of both measures - from individual mobility preferences (driving habits, preference for possible directions of transport policy, etc.) to the demographic structure (education, age, working status, etc.) of the surveyed population.
