Transport infrastructure provides the backbone of transport systems, both within and between countries. The Transport Infrastructure Section is working closely with member countries to develop a dynamic network of highways, railways and ports across the ESCAP region. As part of the Asian Land Transport Infrastructure Development Project (ALTID), the Asian Highway and Trans-Asian Railways networks are being developed, which provide a framework for internationally agreed routes and infrastructural standards. The Section is also supporting the development of intermodal transport, which will allow countries to maximize the use of their existing infrastructure as well as reduce the environmental impact of transport processes.
