  • Sustainable Transport Development and Passenger Transport Demand in Poland
    MATEC Web of Conferences 174, 01021 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201817401021 ECCE 2018 Sustainable transport development and passenger transport demand in Poland Tomasz Szczuraszek*, and Jacek Chmielewski University of Science and Technology, Department of Traffic Engineering and Transport, 85-796 Bydgoszcz, Kaliskiego 7, Poland Summary. Development of sustainable transportation is a process which involves promoting efficient transport systems meeting social expectations, while reducing any sub-optimal or harmful effects on public health, natural environment, economy and urban planning. Therefore, in the case of passenger transport, the most effective measure to achieve sustainable transport development is to maximize the share of public transport. This paper analyses trends in changes of demand for passenger transport in European Union Member States, in Poland and in Kujawsko-Pomorskie province, including in urban and non-urban areas. Based on collected data and extensive transport-related research of the authors, including surveys of residents, the most important conditions have been defined which affect passenger transport demand in Kujawsko-Pomorskie province, and a forecast has been attempted of the demand in three different scenarios of economic development (optimistic, stable and regressive) for various years. The projected public transport demand has been established on the basis of simulations using a proprietary transport model. Results of these calculations revealed surprising conclusions which indicate unfavourable trends in changes of the analysed demand and insignificant differences in projected transport needs, regardless of the selected economic development option for the country and the province. 1 Introduction Respecting the principle of sustainable development in socio-economic development policies of a country involves the need to integrate economic and social objectives with environmental objectives.

  • Transport and Infrastructure in Poland: the Current State and Projects for the Future
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei n. 30 (2005): 54-60 Transport and infrastructure in Poland: the current state and projects for the future Monika Musiał – Malago’1∗ 1Department of Regional Economics, University of Economics, Cracow, Poland Abstract The paper illustrates the current state of the transport infrastructure in Poland, with special attention to the road, rail and airport infrastructure. It highlights the recent trends in freight and passenger transport and discusses the project for improving and updating the transport networks. Though some improvements are taking place, funds availability remains the main problem for the enhancing of the current poor state of the transport infrastructure. Keywords: Transport infrastructure; Road transport; Poland; Project financing. 1. Introduction Transport infrastructure is widely recognised as factor determining the level of socio- economic development of a country and its economic growth. An undeveloped infrastructural network causes barriers to the free movement of people, goods, services, capital and production factors. The existing transport network in Poland appears to have a negative effect on the localization of foreign industries and services, on international trade with EU and bordering countries and on the competitiveness of Poland. 2. Recent transport trends Data from the official government statistics indicate that the total volume of freight transport, both in tonnes and in tonne-km, had a negative trend in the period 200-2002 (Table 1). The year 2003 presents a slight increase, but at levels still lower than in the year 2000. It is interesting to note that in tonnes the main decrease has taken place in road transport and to a minor extent in inland waterways transport, whereas rail and maritime transport have increased their volume.

  • International Trade in Transport Services Between Poland and the European Union
    sustainability Article International Trade in Transport Services between Poland and the European Union Agnieszka Malkowska 1,* and Arkadiusz Malkowski 2 1 Institute of Management, University of Szczecin, Cukrowa 8, 71-004 Szczecin, Poland 2 Faculty of Economics, West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin, 71-270 Szczecin, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The structure of international trade in today’s global economy is undergoing transformation. The increase in the importance of services is a clear trend. In Polish foreign trade with the European Union countries, it is transport services that to the greatest extent create the trade surplus. These services significantly affect the environment, which makes it necessary to take measures aimed at the implementation of the green transport principles. The aim of the study was to provide a detailed description of transport services in Polish foreign trade with European Union (EU) countries and to assess the role of these services in Polish economy, including in terms of sustainable development. The study concerned transport services, consisting of four separate types: maritime transport, air transport, other transport services (except maritime and air) and postal and courier services. The time span of the study was 2010–2018. The latest secondary data from the official statistics of the National Bank of Poland and the Central Statistical Office were used for the purpose of the analysis. The research methods included: critical analysis of the source literature, analysis of secondary data (desk- research) and graphic methods (tables and diagrams), by means of which the results of the study were presented.

  • Transport Planning Fuel-Efficient Green Vehicles Car Sharing
    transport planning fuel-efficient green vehicles car sharing Poland: Transport Position of environmental NGOs – discussion paper by Polish Green Network / CEE Bankwatch Network, June 2012 Introduction For the 2007-2015 period 67 billion euro from the EU budget has been made available to Poland under the Cohesion Policy. Transport is the sector receiving the most support, amounting to 16 billion euro (24.1% of the total). Negotiations regarding the size and division of the next Multiannual Financial Framework are still ongoing; nevertheless, the Polish government hopes to receive similarly generous support under the Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 (possibly up to 80 billion euro). Proportions of financing differing sectors will definitely change, but transport will remain high on the priority list. Therefore we are dealing with an unprecedented scale of investment in transport infrastructure, which will shape the future of Poland’s transport system for decades to come. Environmental NGOs which promote sustainable development cannot therefore refrain from participating in the discussion on the spending of European funds 2014-2020 in the transport sector. This document is anticipated to be a starting point for the discussion and preparation of a detailed position of environmental NGOs, which will be presented to both the Polish government and the European Commission. Financing various transport modes – funding allocations Out of the different transport modes supported by European funds between 2007 and 2015, the main focus has been on road transport. In the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment, which is the programme supporting large projects of national importance and has the largest budget, road transport takes up 57% of the available transport allocation (over 11 billion euro).

  • Energy Efficiency and Steam Coal Transport Over Long Distances
    E3S Web of Conferences 10, 00089 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/e3sconf/20161000089 SEED 2016 Energy efficiency and steam coal transport over long distances Katarzyna Stala-Szlugaj1a and Zbigniew Grudzinski1 1 The Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland Abstract Coal is one of the most important energy sources in the world. Its main consumers are the energy sector (with a 37-46% share in the years 1990-2014; 1.12-2.34 billion toe) and industry (24-27%; 0.78-1.38 billion toe). Diversified distribution of coal deposits in the world in relation to its consumers means that it has to be transported over often very long distances. The global coal trade is dominated by maritime transport (90-94% in the years 2004-2014), and the share of transport by land is relatively smaller. The aim of the article was to calculate the index describing what part of the energy contained in the coal transported on a particular route is consumed by the train carrying it. Due to the dominant position of the Russian Federation in imports of coal to Poland, it was assumed that coal will be imported by rail from Kuzbass (Russia's largest coal basin). As a result of the calculation, it was found that the rate of energy consumption for transport of imported coal will be somewhere in the range of 9.22-15.26%. In the case of deliveries of hard coal from Polish producers to the power plants the calculated rate changes within the range of 0.55-0.58%.
