Tendencje rozwojowe w transporcie polskim na tle wyzwań stawianych przez gospodarkę
Development trends in Polish transport and economic challenges

Summary/Abstract: Because of its vital role in society, transport is a key factor enabling the functioning of economies and the development of global cooperation. Efficient servicing of these growing and changing needs is, therefore, one of the crucial conditions for increased economic efficiency. The paper presents the most important factors influencing contemporary changes in transport needs, which include: the progress of globalization and integration, the development of e-commerce and logistics, the concentration of economic and social life in the cities and the emergence of various risks. The paper also contains a synthetic statistical profile of transport development in Poland after joining the European Union. One of the main trends in the development of Polish transport during this period is the growing share of road transport in the transport market, and a significant increase in its international competitiveness, which places it among the most important sectors of the Polish economy. However, further effective functioning of transport as a stimulus for economic development requires substantial expenditure on its technical equipment and infrastructure. The author aims to show the development trends in the Polish transport against the background of the challenges posed by the economy.
