Purpose and goal of the project:

The FORTIS project aims to develop innovative solutions that would improve the daily lives of residents of cross-border areas and promote inter-institutional dialogue on two main topics:

improving the public local transport system for cross-border integration and better knowledge and exchange of good practices in administrative procedures,
getting to know different legal frameworks in the field of vehicle registration and driving licenses.

Expected project results:

Analysis of existing public transport connections along the border, on the basis of which innovative solutions for the improvement of public transport in the cross-border area will be identified and tested.

Implementation of pilot measures (extension of the existing bus line Koper – Milje, Koper – Trieste, promotion of integrated bus transport between Italy and Slovenia with additional services (e.g. daily bus ticket between Trieste and Ljubljana, discounts on museum tickets, etc.) and sea connection to cross-border area).

Carrying out a case study on administrative and legislative procedures in the field of vehicle registration and driving license procedures.

In cooperation with the main stakeholders in public transport in the cross-border area, a cooperation agreement will be concluded with the aim of further promoting public transport and intermodality in the border area.
