Summary/Abstract: This paper considers the geopolitical, economic and security realities that oblige the Romanian state to apply new policies to ensure accessibility with its neighbours, with the member countries of the European Union, but also with the NATO member countries. Shortening the distances from the starting point to the destination means saving time, energy and road safety. Romania must develop and modernize its transport network according to the new European model. Through judicious planning of the road, railway and navigation infrastructure, European transport corridors will be created, with a strategic importance for economic, social and defence development in case of conflicts. By investing in transport infrastructure, it can become a pillar of Romania's economic development, as well as of the country's defence.
