Abstract
This report highlights deficiencies and
indicates priorities for a prospective national transport
strategy and action plan for further consideration by key
stakeholders. The overall objective should be the
development of a transport system, and an institutional
framework, that facilitates rather than constrains, economic
development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A strong transport
system contributes to economic growth by reducing the
economic distance to markets by expanding opportunities for
trade, by improving the competitiveness of national
locations for production and distribution, and by
facilitating mobility for a country s citizens; while
minimizing the social and environmental costs of the
transport sector. The report concludes by recommending
actions that aim to improve the institutional framework,
improve the sustainability of the transport sector,
facilitate broad based economic growth, and mitigate the
social and environmental detriments associated with
transport. Specific policy recommendations are presented to
accomplish these conclusions.
