Assumptions

The Transport Research Observatory (TOB) has been operating within CEUTP since late 2017. According to its assumptions, it creates an opportunity for the development of good practices, exchange of knowledge and experience between various stakeholders involved in the process of preparing and implementing transport projects. It supports the construction of an evaluation system and ongoing monitoring of the development processes taking place in the country and the effects of transport policy on a national and regional basis.

Specific objectives are:

• Actions to develop a consistent methodology for measuring the impact of FEnIKS 2021-2027 investments in the area of urban and agglomeration transport on improving traffic flow and safety and the integration of transport systems in cities, including the development of urban public transport;
• Exchange of experience and good practices among all socio-economic partners, at the national level to improve the evaluation system and ongoing monitoring in the area of transport;
• Collection and processing of data and information on transport development for evaluation of the impact of FEnIKS on a national, regional basis;
• Conducting conceptual work on methodological assumptions for evaluating the impact of transport interventions undertaken under FEnIKS, in accordance with the developed standards for collecting and analyzing data collected on the basis of a unified methodology;
• To obtain reliable and useful information on the actual effects of cohesion policy, with particular emphasis on the transport sector in the part financed by FEnIKS using a consistent methodological approach.

TOB’s tasks are carried out in cooperation with representatives of state and local administration, not only national, FEnIKS beneficiaries, JASPERS, the scientific community, business and NGOs.

TOB operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Investment and Development – MA FEnIKS and in cooperation with the Ministry of Infrastructure.
