The Baltic Transport Outlook is expected to contribute to; • A common view of the region’s development concerning transport flows and economic growth; • A joint awareness of future challenges and potentials; • Better knowledge exchange of national and regional transport systems.
The core of the project is a study which will map the transport infrastructure and the flows of goods and passengers – between the countries in the region and between the region and other areas. Scenarios will be presented for developments until 2030. These scenarios will be the basis for discussions with and recommendations to infrastructure planners and other decision makers throughout the region on how to tackle future challenges.
