Transport is crucial to our economy, with 1.3 million public and private companies employing 10.2 million people and providing goods and services across the EU. From 1995 to 2019, the volume of transported goods increased by 41%, and the transport of passengers grew by 33%, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary drop.
