Abstract

Investments in transport infrastructure and accessibility represent the backbone of the cohesion policy and regional development. Since the 1990s, the European Union has supported the development of transport infrastructure as essential, not only from the perspective of building the infrastructure itself, but also due to the role that it has later in economic development. Currently, the Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T) policy is under revision and brings important changes to Romania along the new TEN-T corridor Baltic Sea – Black Sea - Aegean Sea. In this new TEN-T corridor, Via Carpatia is the most important road transport project with the potential to stimulate regional cities along the Timişoara-Arad-Oradea development axis. The research showed a high degree of citizens' expectations for the implementation of the Via Carpatia Project. Moreover, the research concluded the overwhelming need for developing new transport routes, mainly modern infrastructure such as highways, expressways, and metropolitan transport, which enhance the accessibility of citizens and favours economic development.
