Given its unique geographical position, improving transport is a priority for Türkiye’s economic and social development. In recent years, Türkiye has made significant investments and legal arrangements to improve and diversify its domestic and international transportation. These efforts have contributed to the development of its foreign trade and tourism.
In this respect, the prioritisation of legislative and policy changes in line with European Union (EU) standards is one of the key strengths of the sector, which can ensure the development of sustainable transport systems in the country. The relationship with, and the integration into, the EU, including the connection with the Trans-European Transport Network, remain a national priority.
DAI is working to improve the legislative and institutional capacities of Türkiye to facilitate the Acquis alignment process in the field of transport. Our work will take stock of progress made in aligning the Turkish transport legislation and identify and evaluate remaining gaps focusing on themes dealing with infrastructure, state intervention, safety and security, or social conditions. Our assistance also supports policy development via the exchange of experience and helps in creating technical networks with EU institutions to facilitate the integration of Türkiye in the Single European Transport Area.
