Deputy Mayor Jelka Tepšić emphasized the project's importance for managing tourist flows and alleviating pressure on the historic city center. The Park ‘n’ Ride system will allow visitors and commuters to park their vehicles on the city's eastern outskirts and continue their journey into Dubrovnik using public transport, easing traffic in the old town and surrounding areas.
The initiative is part of the city’s EU-funded ITU projects, which focus on sustainable urban mobility, including public transport electrification and digitalization. Minister of Regional Development Šime Erlić highlighted Dubrovnik’s efficient use of EU funds, ensuring that the city becomes greener and more accessible for both residents and visitors.
