Main / Activities / Planning documentation / Long-term Strategy (until 2025) of Lithuanian Transport System Development / Long-term (until 2025) Development Strategy of the Lithuanian Transport System (summary)


The Long-term (Until 2025) Development Strategy of the Lithuanian Transport System (hereinafter – the Strategy) complies with the provisions of the Programme of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania for 2004-2008, approved by Resolution No. X-43 of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania of 14 December 2004 (Valstybės Žinios (Official Gazette), No 181-6703, 2004).

 One of the key directions of the transport policy of the European Union and Lithuania is to strengthen the interaction of different transport modes. In the field of passenger carriage, a conceptual framework of “a single ticket” (when a single ticket gives access, to the needed extent, to different types of transport services) should be introduced. In the field of carriage of goods, much attention is being paid to the intermodal transportation processes and technologies. While developing the intermodal transport, it is of great importance to establish modern logistics centres, i.e. “freight villages” or just transport centres, and to integrate them into the network of transport centres being created on the continent of Europe and in the Baltic Sea region.

The Strategy gives the analysis of the long-term development perspective of the establishment of the new generation public logistics centres (“freight villages”). In addition, it emphasises the importance of intermodal interaction in the development of the Lithuanian transport infrastructure. The road, railway, seaport and airport infrastructure should be modernised and developed in a coordinated way, so that intermodal operators could make use of effective transportation technologies and processes and that a sustainable development of different transport modes and their benefiting interaction with the transport systems of the neighbouring states (especially EU Member States) are achieved.

Alongside with general policy measures, this Strategy also presents the development measures of individual transport modes envisaged for specific periods:

-until 2006;

-2007 through 2013;

- until 2025.
