Transport Policy of European Union Member States in the Period 2008-2023

Purpose: The European Union’s transport policy focuses on ensuring sustainable, safe, and efficient mobility, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, which aims for climate neutrality by 2050. This article aims to assess the changes in the transport policies of individual EU countries between 2008 and 2023. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted using 10 selected variables that describe the outcomes of transport policies in 27 EU countries. Methods from multidimensional comparative analysis were employed. Findings: Over the past 15 years, EU countries have made significant progress in implementing more environmentally friendly and socially-oriented solutions in both passenger and freight transport. This progress has led to a significant reduction in road accident fatalities and a decrease in transport-related pollution. Practical Implications: Evaluating the factors that shape the preferred developmental direction of EU countries' transport systems can help identify priority areas that should be considered in making various socio-economic decisions in the field of EU transport policy. Originality/Value: The article demonstrates the potential of using multidimensional comparative analysis methods to assess the importance of factors influencing the development of transport systems in individual EU countries and to offer a synthetic evaluation of their transport policies.
