The Italy-Slovenia Cross Border area
The Italy-Slovenia Programme area extends over a
total surface of 19,841 km² across the border and has a total population of
approximately 3 million inhabitants
The representation of population density according
to 1 km2 grid (based on ISTAT, SURS, EUROSTAT data) expresses a high
heterogeneity in the density of settlements within the Programme area
The figure shows the presence or not of a
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) at municipality level. When available, in
the Italian side is also reported the information about the presence of the Plan
on Urban Traffic (“Piano Urbano del Traffico”, PUT)
The figure provides aggregated representations of
two relevant aspects of transport planning and management resulting from the
general survey carried out by PP2-UNIVE, where a total amount of 160
questionnaires were filled in (out of 259 municipalities).

Transport supply
The number of tracks and the presence of electricity
supply,
represented here, provide key aspects for assessing the capacity and
performances of
each rail network link.
The usage for passenger service of the railway lines
across
the border and, in certain cases, even close to the border is very limited. In
fact,
only through the CROSSMOBY pilot rail service it was possible to close the
existing gap
in the Trieste-Ljubljana line, while the Gorizia-Nova Gorica link is currently
not used
by passenger trains. High number of trains, instead, can be seen in
correspondence to
the nodes of Venice (above all), Trieste and to a less extent Ljubljana and
Udine.
The provided map with the stops and related
connections represents the local Public Transport network data made available to
the present study The colours of the thematic map allow to distinguish the three
main datasets covering:
• the Friuli Venezia Giulia region bus services and as well as waterborne
services mainly in Trieste area;
• ACTV services (including a relevant deal of waterborne transport) in the
Venice area;
• Slovenian Public Transport operators.
On top of that, a thematic representation of gap at cross-border points is
provided.
The thematic representation is showing the number of
daily bus connection between the different municipalities (summing up the two
opposite directions linking each couple of municipalities) in the Friuli Venezia
Giulia region as well as in Slovenia on an average weekday in Autumn.
TThe provided representation shows travel times with public transport to selected cities listed in the drop-down list. It represents average travel times in both directions, with average walking distance less than 1600 m. Two scenarios have been elaborated by PP4-UIRS:
• scenario 1: with cross border connections (CROSSMOBY pilot train and Gorizia –
Nova Gorica international urban bus)
• scenario 2: without cross border connections (CROSSMOBY pilot train and
Gorizia – Nova Gorica international urban bus)
Within the CROSSMOBY project various pilot
activities have been developed testing new sustainable transport solution within
the IT-SI. The overall picture of these services is shown here while further
details and zoomed representation of each single one is provided on the right
