The main objective of the project is to significantly improve the process of planning, development and coordination of cross-border transport system to better connect with the TEN-T network in the border region. Elaboration of an expert preliminary study, development and adoption of common strategy on TEN-T network enhancement through improving intermodal nodes’ capacity in the cross- border region. The main activities under the project are: - Elaboration of a preliminary study on intermodal nodes’ current state and their capability to enhance the TEN-T network within the Bulgarian part of the CBC area; - Adoption of a joint common strategy to improve the TEN-T network by increasing the capacity of intermodal nodes; - Consultations with stakeholders and the expert community: • roundtables: 4 in Romania and 4 in Bulgaria. The objectives that the project sets itself is a well-planned and sustainable development of transport infrastructure and organization of transport networks for the four modes of passenger and freight transport: road, water, air and rail.
