Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of transport which took place in the 20th century vastly contributed to greater consumption of raw materials, environmental decay, and hence to reducing the prosperity of present and future generations. These issues are all the more complex that the current political situation in Europe is changing more rapidly than the economic conditions. We must accept the fact that, as a result of the current problems of the European Union, the process of approval of the assumptions of the new cohesion policy can be lengthy and the planned priorities can change position in the hierarchy. Thus, the future of sustainable transport depends on what actions we will take now. The purpose of this paper is to present the issues concerning sustainable transport against the background of European cohesion policy. The discussion is by no means comprehensive as it only indicates the multidimensional and multifaceted nature of the considered problems, suggesting areas for further research.
