Actual Multimodal Transport Management, Support for Sustainable Development of the National Economy

The importance of transport is no longer needed to be underlined. Despite all statistical numbers and whichever other analysis, it is obvious that a well developed transport system with certain leads to economic growth. The last decades lead to an unprecedented development of global foreign trade. Benefic from economic point of view, transport development determined a worrisome increase of environmental pollution degree. Minimizing negative effects produced by transport became a global priority. Multimodal transport is a sustainable alternative for transport development. Achieving an upgraded multimodal transport is a priority for all European Union countries, including Romania. In this paper, the authors make an “x-ray” of national multimodal transport, trying, at the same time, to find solutions to develop them.
