The Transport System of MOF Olsztyn in the Light of Sustainable Development Policy

Abstract

Transport policy has always presented many dilemmas. Currently, its pro-ecological aspect, relating to the need to limit the negative impact of transport on the natural environment, causes the need to reconsider many issues related to the sustainable development of transport. The new approach should optimize activities in the areas of respect for the environment, technical progress and economic growth. According to the European Commission, this concept is gaining fuller understanding at the level of political discourse and, at the same time, becoming a horizontal principle – the foundation of EU transport policy. However, this requires the responsible creation of transport policy and its consistent and effective implementation. Therefore, it has become the subject of consideration at the Olsztyn Functional Urban Area level. The study aims to identify documents declared as transport policies or strategies and evaluate them in the context of formal authorization, content, coherence and applicability in the Olsztyn MOF.
