The Self-government of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County is responsible for the planning of regional development. The coordination of the regional development of the county is closely linked to the implementation of projects concerning public transport. Transport, especially its contribution to labour mobility ”commuting), is one 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.

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 Selfchallenge includes both the improvement of services ”e.g. better links between different modes of transport) and improved passenger information ”e.g. online services, real-government time information). The learning from RUMOBIL is crucial to better understand how an improvement of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County is responsible 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 planning envisaged RUMOBIL Strategy and its policy recommendations jointly drafted by the consortium. On policy-level, HŽ PP closely collaborate with the national Ministry of regional developmentMaritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure in the formulation of transport strategies for Croatian countries. The coordination transport strategy of the regional development of the county is closely linked to Karlovac County, selected for the implementation of projects concerning public transport. Transport, especially its contribution to labour mobility ”commuting)RUMOBIL activities, is one 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.

SZSZBMO will contribute and participate HŽ PP participates in all activities foreseen by in the project activitieswork plan and implement those within Croatia. The regional self-government 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 expertise and current challenges experiences in the domain coordination and planning of public transportrail transport in Croatia´s rural areas, provide input 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 elaboration exchange and capacity building in T1, HŽ PP will be responsible for the implementation of the Rumobil Model and corresponding policy recommendations, and realise a regional experimentation during aiming at increasing the project´s pilot phasenumber 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 latter new service will focus on improving be designed to suit both the quality needs of public transport by improved improved passenger 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 better intermodal accessibility to allow passengers to plan their trips. In the project, HŽ PP will closely collaborate with its "mother ministry", the Croation Ministry of transport hubsMaritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure and the local government of Karlovac County. The experimentation will test how people who travel by individual means of transport, mainly by cars and bicycles can be won for public transport.

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.
