Daily mobility in Slovenia is largely based on the use of private cars, contributing to traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and land use, thereby increasing environmental pressures. The high number of vehicles on the road results from established travel habits and the lack of time- and organisation-efficient alternatives on many routes. One possible solution for improving mobility is carpooling; however, no digital solution currently exists in the public sector that systematically supports such an approach. This thesis focuses on the opportunities digital tools offer in promoting carpooling among employees in the state administration. The theoretical part presents an overview of travel patterns, infrastructural and organisational limitations, and the role of digital technologies in encouraging sustainable behaviour. The research section is based on an analysis of comparable existing solutions, a survey conducted among employees in selected organizations of the Slovenian public administration, and the identification of key user needs, which served as the foundation for the development of the platform. The result of the thesis is a functional prototype that enables the organisation of shared rides based on location, time frame, and other logistical factors. The solution addresses the identified user needs and provides a basis for further development and potential integration into practice. This work contributes to the understanding of how digital support can enhance sustainable mobility and offers guidelines for future research and the development of similar solutions in public administration.
