  • The National Road Fund and the Railway Fund As a Source of Financing for the Development of Transport Infrastructure in Poland
    PTiL 2/2019 (46) | ISSN: 1644-275X | www.wnus.edu.pl/ptil | DOI: 10.18276/ptl.2019.46-03 | 29–38 THE NATIONAL ROAD FUND AND THE RAILWAY FUND AS A SOURCE OF FINANCING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN POLAND DATA PRZESŁANIA: 30.11.2018, DATA AKCEPTACJI: 14.01.2019, KODY JEL: R42, E62, H54 Sylwia Kowalska University of Szczecin [email protected] SUMMARY The article is a review paper whose main objective is to analyze and evaluate the National Road Fund and the Railway Fund as sources of financing infrastructural investments in the transport sector in Poland. The first part of the article presents the theoretical approach to the financing of transport infrastruc- ture. The essence of investments in both road and rail infrastructure is presented. In addition, selected sources of fundraising for infrastructure investments were discussed on the basis of a literature review. The second part presents and compiles secondary data on financial flows in the National Road Fund and the Railway Fund. The receipts and expenditures of both Funds were analyzed and their importance in infrastructure financing was determined. KEYWORDS transport infrastructure, transport financing, infrastructure investments INTRODUCTION Transport infrastructure is a fundamental physical and social resource, the presence of which is necessary for proper social and economic functioning and development. It is one of the links in the national economy, whose comprehensive development affects the overall efficiency of the econ- omy. Consequently, economic progress can be reduced through neglects and inaccuracies in the development of transport infrastructure (Grzywacz, 1982). Furthermore, it is noted that there are strong two-way links between the development of transport infrastructure and the improvement of competitiveness and economic and spatial cohesion of the regions.

  • The Realization of the Autostrada A1 in Poland: a Discussion of Spatial Implications
    THE REALIZATION OF THE AUTOSTRADA A1 IN POLAND: A DISCUSSION OF SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS BY DEVON M. LECHTENBERG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Julie Cidell ABSTRACT The Autostrada A1 is a highway currently under construction in Poland. The Autostrada A1 will connect two major Polish ports on the Baltic Sea with industrial areas in the south of the country. Together with the construction of other major highways such as the A2, A3, and A4, it will form a network the significance of which for Poland is paralleled by the Interstate Highway system in the United States and the Autobahn network in Germany. I would suggest that almost every effect that the Autostrada A1 or its realization has had or will have on its environment carries spatial implications. Economic and demographic patterns will likely be significantly affected by the presence of a new north-south highway in Poland. The Autostrada A1 itself, the process to build it, and the transformed government and legal regimes to administer it are all Polish spaces which are merging with the greater space of the European Union while still having ties to the East. Implicit in this process is the further enablement of Poland and other Central European countries which will benefit from the Autostrada A1 to realize their full economic, political and social potential within the contemporary order in Europe and the world.

Accessibility is an important element for tourism development. The Polish-Slovak borderland is currently suffering from inadequate routes to the region and cross-border connections because of the mountains. The borderland are characterised by the poor accessibility and bad condition of the roads. Unfortunately, tourism development analyses and studies carried out over recent decades in Poland and Slovakia have not addressed the problems. The aims of the article was to analyse the Polish-Slovak borderland road accessibility and the key transport solutions required for successful road development.
