Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated restrictive measures to slow the spread of the virus, restricting freedom of movement and other coordinated containment measures. All this has led to profound transformations in the transport sector – technological, economic, and social. All of these measures have crystallized and have become critical to the sustainable recovery of the transport sector from the pandemic. At the national level, a National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) has been adopted to address the pandemic impacts, facilitating economic and social recovery from the crisis. The report provides a comparative analysis of the envisaged measures and reforms of the NSSMP with the areas and actions for sustainable development of transport in Bulgaria identified by the project team under contract No. INI – KP-06-DK2/4 of 30.03.2021, concluded with the Ministry of Education and Science Research Fund. On this basis, it outlines additional areas for taking measures to recover the transport sector from the pandemic. The comparative analysis provides a foundation to summarize that the corresponding actions, investments, and reforms and the highlighted areas and measures for sustainable development in transport are primarily targeted and well-founded. Still, additional steps must be taken to recover and sustain the transport business.
