The Polish government has introduced a bill to overhaul public transport outside major cities by mandating minimum service standards, on-demand transit options, and centralized regional network integration to end social exclusion. <\/p>\n
The government project aims to revolutionize transport organization beyond large urban centers. By introducing mandatory minimum accessibility standards and provincial network schemes, the legislation seeks to eliminate the social and professional exclusion caused by current gaps in the national transport map.<\/p>\n
Transport is vital for economic development, social justice, and well-being. Ensuring access to high-quality jobs, healthcare, and education is a priority, aligning with the European Pillar of Social Rights to support those in vulnerable situations.<\/p>\n
The bill defines transport exclusion as a lack of access to minimal public transport services or on-demand transit. Regional marshals will now act as primary integrators, responsible for coordinating networks and ensuring connectivity across borders.<\/p>\n
Local government units face stricter requirements, moving beyond mere planning to the active provision of transport services. Municipalities must ensure specific connection frequencies, while rural areas with low population density will implement door-to-door transit solutions.<\/p>\n
The Bus Transport Development Fund will be renamed the Transport Exclusion Prevention Fund. Marshals will assume responsibility for its administration, directing subsidies exclusively toward routes established to combat transport poverty.<\/p>\n
New quality mandates include a 20-year age limit for buses and the mandatory installation of GPS tracking for service verification. Carriers must also publish schedules in standardized digital formats such as GTFS or NeTex to improve passenger transparency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
