Planning Integrated Passenger Traffic for Varaždin Region

In Croatia, there has been a trend of depopulation, and this negative trend has been especially emphasised in rural areas. Apart from social reasons, an additional reason for the decline of population in rural areas is the lack of mobility. Increasing mobility in rural areas can be provided using the concept of integrated passenger traffic where the rail operators are the backbone of the system and the bus operators act as feeders. This approach ensures the financial aspect of the project and transport policy and the operators but also offers high level of transportation services for rural residents. To achieve such a system it is necessary to collect demographic and traffic data. Traffic variables that are determined are the road and rail traffic flows, and then surveys for users of transport. Based on these values integrated passengers traffic can be planned. This paper will show the size of the measured traffic in the areas of Lepoglava and Bednja in the Varaždin County and the possibility of further steps of planning for the creation of integrated passenger traffic.
