Restructuring, Privatization and Deregulation of Transport in Poland: New Transport Policy Implications

Abstract

Economies of former Soviet bloc countries are being radically changed from state‐run to market systems. One of the major impacts of such change is on the core logistical component of transport. Transport enterprises and their clients are attempting to adjust to the rules of a market economy. Attempts to delineate the difficulties arising from such transition by examining the restructuring, privatization and deregulation issues of transport in Poland. Examines specifically forms of ownership, privatization regulation, Government passenger carriers and international road transport. Concludes that research and education must be initiated immediately in order to help formulate properly a transport policy that will provide for an optimum national logistical system.
