Caspian Energy (CE): What are some of the current priorities guiding the development of Czechia’s transport sector?
Martin Kupka, Minister of Transport of the Czech Republic: The priorities of the Ministry of Transport are modernising transport infrastructure, improving safety, digitalisation and sustainable mobility. We seek to complete the “basic motorway network” and connect it to the networks of our neighbouring countries. This is our big debt from the past decades.
In rail transport we want to complete the modernisation of our network and rolling stock, increase operational safety (thanks to the introduction of the European signalling system), the capacity of corridors and prepare high-speed rail lines. The interconnection of different modes of transport is another big thing: for example multimodal terminals, new parking systems and digital journey planning tools for more efficient and environmentally friendly transport of people and goods.
