Hungarian Transport Policy 1996
 Five strategic objectives of the Hungarian transport policy





adopted in 1996
(1) supporting successful integration into the European Union;
(2) promoting the co-operation with the neighbouring
countries;
(3) promoting a more balanced territorial development
of the country;
(4) protection of the human life of the built and
the natural environment;
(5) effective and market-oriented transport regulation.
 While the objectives formed a well-balanced system of criteria,
in the reality the first objective ( integration into the European
Union ) has got an absolute priority, in an understanding that
above all it is the main corridors that serve that target.
Dilemmas of the Central European
Transport Policy in time of the EU Enlargement
 European Interest 1 – Corridors (TEN-T) in western Europe were based
on the internal demand of the EU area, namely on the necessity of the
interconnection of well developed national networks (“Single network to
the single market”)
 European Interest 2 – the extension of the TEN-T network toward the
East was rather the extension of the east-west corridors of the TEN-T
than the extension of the grid itself. It reflected the Fifteen’s interest
rather than the overall interest of the enlarged European Union.
 European Interest 3 – during the adaptation of the EU (CTP) priorities
the transition countries overestimated the significance of the TEN-T
(supranational) level in territorial cohesion. Without proper local
networks the expected advantages can not penetrate into the local
economy to promote cohesion – good local network is a general interest.
 Special Interest 4 – the structure/pattern of the inter-regional networks
within Hungary follows an over-centralised structure that cause special
barrier in the development of the adaptive capacity of the country.
Hungarian National Environmental Protection
Program Transport Sector Action Paper 1998
 Detailed elaboration of a sustainable transport policy, based on the
prescription of the Fifth Environmental Action Program of the EU
and the Hungarian Environmental Protection Plan based on it.
 The Environmental and Regional Development Ministry was
standing behind. (Also industry, tourism, water, agriculture, energy Action
Programs were elaborated)
 Non of the touched ministries accepted the Action Programs, or
regarded it as a basis for a debate. Instead they considered it as if the
Environment Ministry had exceeded its competence.

 „Five” strategic objectives
 „Its main strategic goals have remained mainly unchanged since the



original transportation policy adopted in 1996. i.e.:”
• improvement of the quality of the life, conservation of health,
reduction of the territorial differences, increasing the traffic
safety, protection of the built and natural environment;
• supporting successful integration into the European Union;
• improvement of the conditions of the contacts with the
neighbouring countries and their enlargement;
• aiding the implementation of the land use development objectives;
• creation of the conditions of the efficient operation and
maintenance with the aid of the regulated competition.

declared, their grouping is not coherent, their appearance in the
document doesn’t follow any logic of hierarchy
Important sub-sector programs (as the one on motorways) were
adopted by the government few months before the transport
policy, so the most important decisions were already fixed.
The strategic environmental assessment proved to be a useful tool,
it was a pity that the transport policy was adopted itself before
the finishing of the assessment.
The harmony between the objectives of the policy and those of
the sustainability documents compared was at a medium level
The revision of the transport policy should be commenced
without any delay.

New Hungary Development Plan (2007)
National Strategic Reference Framework of Hungary 2007–2013
 Subtitle: Employment and Growth
 During the preparation phase there were two pillars of objectives:
competitiveness and employment one the one side and
sustainability and cohesion on the other
 In the final version the overall objectives are:
increased employment and promotion of long term growth
 There are also horizontal policies (3.1.4.) „Ensuring the conditions
for sustainability” and „Strengthening cohesion” that „have to be
taken into consideration” that is not fitted into the hierarchy of
objectives (p. 81. in ÚMFT-en
http://www.nfu.hu/the_new_hungary_development_plan_ )
 „These horizontal policies have to be enforced in the development of both the sectors
and regions in the New Hungary Development Plan. Sustainability, adjustment and
equal opportunities between regions and within a region, including the requirement
for equal treatment of women and men and non-discrimination – as specified EU
requirements – have to be taken into consideration while concentrating on the above
two aspects in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the
Operational Programmes and interventions.”
New Hungary Development Plan (2007)
Transport Operational Program 2007-2013
 „Priority axes”
 (1) Improving the international accessibility (rail, road) of the
country and its region-centres (external connections)
 (2) Improvement of the regional accessibility (within and between
regions: internal provision)
 (3) Development the intermodality and transport infrastructure of
economic centres, connection of transport modes (fright traffic
hubs)
 (4) development of public transport in cities and their agglomeration
(personal traffic hubs)
 It could have been the base of a good and reasonable program
 Instead (1) TEN corridors, (2) other motorways and pavement
enforcement on the main roads, (the word ‘rail’ doesn’t occurs in this
part)
 Nothing but the „space of flows” -- no care of „space of place”…

or totally missing from the strategic document. (Transport belongs
to the Ministry of National Development, so it is included, but
there was relatively small harmonisation with the earlier transport
documents).
New strategies of 2011: Széll Kálmán Plan
 The focal priority of the Széll Kálmán Plan is the dept
decreasing, and it deals mainly with the sectors / sub-sectors
where there are possibilities (by previous judgements) for the
state to take back development sources or to get other revenues to
help the dept problem. The two touched parts of the transport
sector are the public transport and the road pricing.
The idea is institutional reorganisation and centralisation in the
public transport, and introducing electronic toll system for road
pricing. The second seems to be in harmony with the
sustainability aspects, while the public transport definitely needs
some institutional reform, but any expectation on resource
extraction from the public transport is based on misunderstanding
of the wider context of transport feedbacks and may give support
to the growth of the car traffic.
New strategies of 2011: Integrated Transport St.
 The National Integrated Transport Strategy has at the
moment no documentation or accepted detailed timetable.
The future developer team of the plan is the same group that
has just finished a sub-sector strategy for the motorways and
main road network of Hungary

Any conclusion?
 A provocative summary:
 Too many strategies and other official documents exist
together.
 The role of the environment is accepted but basically it is
pushed behind the ‘real’ mobility targets
 All the document prescribed (dealing with sustainability or
environment issues) are prepared, finished -- but sometimes
after the time-window when they could influence the policy
targets.
 The development in urban centres greener than it would
follow from the general transport policy (pedestrian zones,
calmed areas)
