Description

The key challenge is to change the travel habits of employees of the Industrial Zone (IZ) Trata . By preparing the mobility plans and implementing the measures, we will encourage employees to switch to sustainable mobility. We will perform a state-of-the-art analysis and identify employees who have the opportunity to change their travel habits. This is also the goal of various strategies and policies at local and national level. We will prepare a set of measures and select the ones that have the greatest potential impacts on travel habits and are thus the most feasible. A significant part of the measures will be primarily aimed at providing better conditions for cycling. As part of the project, the Municipality of Škofja Loka will build the missing part of the two-way bicycle path in the eastern part of the business zone and connect the Trata industrial zone with Godešič. Participating companies will receive individual mobility plans with concrete measures to encourage employees to adopt a sustainable way of arriving at work. Each company will acquire a bicycle store, buy electric bicycles for employees and install an electric charging station for electric bicycles. The target groups are employees and management in companies, other employees in IZ Trata, the local community, decision-makers, and policymakers. 
The municipality will benefit from the project include less pressure on road infrastructure, reduced emissions, lower air pollution. At the level of companies, there will be an effective recovery in parking spaces, the health of employees will improve and fluctuations will be reduced. The air quality in the IZ Trata area will improve and the traffic congestions will decrease. The sense of belonging to the company will be strengthened among the employees of the participating companies and expenses for mobility will be lowered.
