During its early transition years, Romania implemented radical structural reforms in the institutions of the transport sector, but over the last decade there has been concern that these changes have not led to tangible improvements in transport policy administration nor in the efficiency and effectiveness of the main delivery institutions in the railway and road sectors. The Review has tried to discern the main reasons for these shortcomings and to identify remedial actions. It focuses on three main challenges: the administration of the transport sector as a whole; the corporate governance of state-owned road and railway companies; and the priorities for the companies themselves. Attention is also given to budgeting issues and opportunities for greater private sector participation.enCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSADMINISTRATIVE APPARATUSADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORKADMINISTRATIVE TRADITIONSAIRAIR NAVIGATIONAIRCRAFTAIRPORTSASSET MANAGEMENTASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSAUTHORITYAUTOMOBILEBOTBUDGETARY RESOURCESBUDGETARY SUPPORTBUREAUCRACYBUREAUCRATIC CONTROLBUSBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICE OPERATORSBUS SERVICESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCARCITIZENSCOMMUNITY SAFETYCONSIGNMENTCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATE MANAGEMENTCORPORATIONCORRUPTIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING POWERDECISION-MAKINGDEGREE OF AUTONOMYDIESELDIESEL TRAINSDISCLOSUREDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATIONDRIVER LICENSINGDRIVINGEMISSIONEMISSION STANDARDSENVIRONMENTAL COSTSENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSEXECUTIONEXPENDITUREFARE EVASIONFARE STRUCTUREFARESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISCAL COSTSFISCAL STRESSFREIGHTFREIGHT FLOWSFREIGHT OPERATIONSFREIGHT SECTORFREIGHT TRANSPORTGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT MINISTRIESGOVERNMENT ROLESGOVERNMENT STRATEGYGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHAULAGE INDUSTRYHIGHWAYHIGHWAY CONSTRUCTIONHIGHWAY PLANNINGHIGHWAY PROJECTSHIGHWAYSHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITYINFRASTRUCTURE CHARGESINFRASTRUCTURE COSTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMSINTERCITY NETWORKLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLEGISLATIONLOCOMOTIVEMARITIME TRANSPORTMEMBER STATESMINISTRIES OF TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTORWAYSNATIONAL RAILWAYNATIONAL TRANSPORTPASSENGER RAILPASSENGER SERVICEPASSENGER SERVICESPASSENGER TRAINPASSENGERSPATRONAGEPOLITICIANSPRIVATE CONCESSIONSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE RAIL OPERATORSPRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPSPPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDINGPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC OWNERSHIPPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC ROADSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SERVICERAILRAIL COMPANIESRAIL COMPANYRAIL CORRIDORSRAIL FREIGHTRAIL FREIGHT MARKETRAIL FREIGHT OPERATORRAIL FUNDINGRAIL INFRASTRUCTURERAIL MARKETRAIL NETWORKRAIL NETWORKSRAIL PASSENGERRAIL PASSENGER SERVICERAIL SECTORRAIL SERVICESRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYRAILWAY COMPANIESRAILWAY INDUSTRYRAILWAY INTEROPERABILITYRAILWAY NETWORKRAILWAY OPERATORSRAILWAY ROUTERAILWAY SECTORRAILWAY SYSTEMRAILWAYSRATIONALIZATIONREGIONAL RAIL SERVICESREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY POLICYREGULATORY REGIMEREGULATORY SYSTEMREHABILITATIONROADROAD CAPACITYROAD HAULAGEROAD HAULAGE INDUSTRYROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROAD SECTORROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD USERROAD USER CHARGEROAD USER CHARGESROADSROLLING STOCKROUTEROUTESSAFETYSAFETY AGENCYSHAREHOLDERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESTATE AUTHORITYSTATE BUDGETSTATE INSTITUTIONSSTATE OWNERSHIPSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSUBSIDIARY COMPANIESTAXTAX REVENUESTECHNOCRATTECHNOCRATSTRACK CAPACITYTRAFFICTRAFFIC DENSITYTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC VOLUMETRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT AGREEMENTSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT FUNDINGTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTSTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT NOISETRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT SERVICE PROVISIONTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORTATIONTRAVELERSVEHICLEVEHICLE OWNERSVETOWorld Bank10.1596/12278
