Transport, Mobility and Infrastructure

Transport, logistics and communication are essential elements for economic development and social movement. Traffic is growing fast in Turkey and new infrastructure is planned to accommodate this growth. A rapid expansion of transport infrastructure in the fields of roads, (high speed) railways, airports and ports and logistics is foreseen in Turkey. Moreover, becoming a logistical hub for the region and creation of more sustainable and safer transport are key for the ambitions of the government in Turkey. The path to EU Accession and the absorption of the EU IPA Funds for the operational programme transport will bring other opportunities and challenges for the transport sector and institutions in Turkey.

We enable professional assessment of policy options and strategic business plans based on substantive inputs. ECORYS can support the decision making process in Turkey with a range of state of the art services, international and local experience in the areas of road, rail, air, maritime transport and logistics.
