Transport Policy and Planning Program (TPP)

The Transport Policy and Planning Programme provides the technical framework for harmonising transport policies, regulations, standards and planning approaches across the Northern Corridor Member States. It supports coordinated regional transport planning, policy development, data management and integration of cross-cutting issues into corridor policy and planning.

Its work is closely anchored in the NCTTA requirement for Member States to harmonize standards and procedures for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of transport and transit facilities, and to consult one another on changes affecting movement of persons, vehicles and goods.

 

The objectives of the programme are to:

  • Achieve uniformity in transit transport policies and regulation across Member States;
  • Enhance policy harmonization;
  • Maintain a transport database;
  • Integrate relevant cross-cutting issues.
 

Its technical remit includes:

  • transport-policy harmonisation;
  • regional transport planning;
  • development/review of national and regional transport policies;
  • transport data and statistics;
  • corridor performance information;
  • Transport Observatory-related technical work;
  • green freight and emissions-related policy integration;
  • cross-cutting considerations such as environment, climate, gender, road safety and sustainability;
  • harmonisation of transport standards and regulatory approaches.
