Finland updates its transport plan: Aiming for a safer and more sustainable future
The Finnish Government has updated the "Transport 12" plan, which guides the long-term development of the country's transport system. A key objective of the revised plan is to create a nationwide, safe, and functional transport system that serves both passengers and freight transport.
The plan is a comprehensive entity that takes all modes of transport into account. It covers roads, railways, and waterways alike. The goal is to ensure that Finland's infrastructure is in good condition and that travel is smooth across different parts of the country, including outside urban areas.
Sustainable development is one of the plan's most important priorities. The Government aims to reduce transport emissions and improve energy efficiency. This means investments in more environmentally friendly solutions and the development of transport services in a way that supports the achievement of climate goals.
The Transport 12 plan serves as an important tool when authorities make decisions regarding future investments and maintenance. The update ensures that Finland's transport system meets the needs of a changing society and economy in the coming years as well.
