Summary/Abstract: The current level of transport infrastructure and its technical condition is a barrier to Poland’s further economic growth and modernisation, and also to the country’s full integration with the EU where transport policy is concerned. The underdevelopment of Poland’s transport infrastructure reduces the spatial accessibility of many urban centres and regions on the regional, domestic and European scale. My research on transport accessibility is based on taxonomic methods. The aim of this study was to identify the diversity of transport accessibility in Poland by voivodeship, using synthetic measures to rank each province. The study was based on statistical data for the end of 2012.
