Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is an analysis of theoretical and practical transport policy in three polish cities (Krakow, Poznan and Wroclaw). Author says that content of local transport strategies is compatible with sustainable transportation idea. But in the second part of the text, there are finding of researches which show that current local governments activities are not successful, so in these cities car is more and more popular. In the end, author looks for reasons of ineffciency of local activity and argues that it may be an effect of various parameters of investments (which are inconsistent with local transport strategies), cultural factors, liberal spatial urban policy, shape of law regulations as well as lack of money.
