HŽ Putnički prijevoz is a company conducting public passenger transport at inland and international railway traffic. It is currently the only company conducting rail passenger transport in Croatia. Since 2010, HŽ PP had to reduce its rail lines by more than 50 per cent ”2010: 1.835 million pkm, today: 858 million pkm) partly due to the decline of the population of Croatia as a whole ”1990: 4.7 million inhabitants, today: 4.2 million) and especially of its peripheral areas and consequently less demand for train services and in most part due to market liberalization preparation and lack of public funds. Moreover, within the next 30 years, 15 of 21 counties are expected to loose more another 40 per cent of their population. As public funding for rail transport corresponds to the number of passengers, a politically imposed vicious cycle between reduced transport capacities, further depopulation, lower numbers of passengers and lack of financing leading to yet further service reduction results in tremendous challenges to make rail transport in Croatia more attractive. The challenge includes both the improvement of services ”e.g. better links between different modes of transport) and improved passenger information ”e.g. online services, real-time information). The learning from RUMOBIL is crucial to better understand how an improvement of service quality may attract additional rail passengers who previously had been lost when services were reduced. As many territories in Central Europe suffer from similar conditions, the learning will be very valuable for the envisaged RUMOBIL Strategy and its policy recommendations jointly drafted by the consortium. On policy-level, HŽ PP closely collaborate with the national Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure in the formulation of transport strategies for Croatian countries.

Is the organisation performing any economic activity within the project or as a result of it ”not applicable for associated partners)? HŽ PP participates in all activities foreseen by in the project work plan and implement those within Croatia. The implementation will focus on the rail line linking peripheral areas of Karlovačka County with Karlovac and Zagreb, hence an area most affected by depopulation and where the improvement of transport access to the national and therefore European passenger transport network is seen as a strategic mean to confront this challenge. The company will share its previous experiences in the coordination and planning of rail transport in Croatia´s rural areas, provide its knowledge of good practices and share project results among its regional, national and European networks. It will participate in all partner events and host a Partner Workshop. While contributing to the exchange and capacity building in T1, HŽ PP will be responsible for the implementation of a regional experimentation aiming at increasing the number of train passengers by introducing new train services between isolated rural areas in Karlovac County and the secondary transport hub in Karlovac ”Zagreb-Rijeka railway - access to the Mediterranean TEN). The new service will be designed to suit both the needs of commuters and the itineraries of tourists to generate additional customers and ticket sales. A promotional campaign to communicate the pilot service will be realised. Novel ICT solutions will be applied to improve offline and online information and to allow passengers to plan their trips. In the project, HŽ PP will closely collaborate with its "mother ministry", the Croation Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure and the local government of Karlovac County. The learning of RUMOBIL will be used to improve the Transport development strategy of Karlovac County ”Strategija prometnog razvoja Karlovačke županije), e.g. by integrating the new service tested.

This particular project lasted until December 2014. One of its goals was enhancing competitiveness and integration of public passenger transport in Southeast Europe by implementation of non-infrastructure measures and activities, which will contribute to railway and public transport. Project integrated 11 hubs within European international transport corridors. 28 different partners from 10 countries were involved in this project. This previous experience enables HŽ PP to understand its role and tasks of a project partner in a transnational project consortium. The organization will make sure that sufficient resources will be available for the foreseen tasks to ensure the maximum benefit for the improvement of Croatia´s rail services.

On policy-level, HŽ PP closely collaborate with the national Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure in the formulation of transport strategies for Croatian countries. The transport strategy of Karlovac County, selected for the implementation of RUMOBIL activitiesprojects concerning public transport. Transport, especially its contribution to labour mobility ”commuting), is currently under wayone priority of the County Development Programme 2014-2020. The programme stresses that missing links in the public transport network must be closed and the coverage of isolated towns be improved. Bottlenecks in the public transport network shall be removed and the overall quality of public transport is to be improved. As a cross-cutting objective, the county aims to reduce the CO2 impact of transport by strengthening cycling and public transport against the dominance of individual motorised transport. In previous years, the increase of car mileage by inhabitants was tremendous. Similar to other rural areas in Central Europe, the region suffers from a natural population shrinkage due to low birthrates and outward migration. The county government is legally responsible for the organisation of bus transport within the region and aims to improve its intermodal links – both towards the major train line towards Budapest as well as the county´s bicycle network. Capitalising the learning from RUMOBIL, the county will amend its transport-related policies ”Operational Programme of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County 2014-2020).
