Croatian transport strategy draft

Considering the significance of transport sector there are two levels of influence that may be identified-one on the quality of living of the population and the other on the overall economic development of a country. There is little doubt that traffic infrastructure directly contributes to the activation of economic potentials, and that transport sector revenues have a significant share in the GDP structure of a country. A coherent transport policy can also contribute to the reduction of budgetary expenses into the transport sector, either by providing conditions for efficient infrastructure management, or by means of instruments to reduce external costs (congestion, fatalities, pollution). Traffic strategy is not to be considered as the final and eternal document, but with a certain flexibility regarding revisions and additions, depending on specific characteristics of economic changes and needs over the time. The starting points in defining the strategic frames within which traffic development goals will be realised include evaluation of the development level of the transport sector, its functional parrying in realising the economic development objectives, as well as its harmonisation regarding development strategies in international environment. The conceptualisation of the strategic guidelines of traffic development of Croatia has been determined by the aim of integrating into the European transport system. In this sense it is important to detect the specific features of development programs and transport policies at national and international levels, and also the trends of market opening and transport flow dynamics.
