Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the development strategies of the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) and their impact on mobility and economic cohesion within the European Union. The TEN-T networks represent a key initiative for the modernization of transport infrastructure, contributing to the integration of various modes – roads, railways, airports, and waterways – into a centralized and interoperable network. Initiatives such as "Project Bonds" and the Connecting Europe Facility are essential for attracting the necessary funding from both the public and private sectors. The analysis focuses on the progress in implementing these strategies, providing concrete examples, such as Romania, where deficiencies in road and rail infrastructure pose a major obstacle to investment and economic growth. The article emphasizes the importance of a robust legislative framework and efficient financial mechanisms for the development of a sustainable and competitive transport network, thus contributing to reducing emissions and promoting sustainable mobility.
