The goal of the Pact is to achieve the synergy of regional and long -distance connections, which will enable the effective implementation of provincial and inter -voivodship transport. Increasing the transport of the voivodship will allow you to strengthen its internal consistency and maximum use of the geographical, central location. Railway as public transport plays a key role in the functioning and sustainable development of regions. It has a positive effect on many aspects of the lives of the inhabitants. Improving access to railways and better transport connections will result in a reduction in communication exclusion in the region - said Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak. - The development of railway infrastructure in the Lodz Voivodeship will contribute to better integration of regional connections, which will allow more efficient and more effective transport between cities. Thanks to this, residents will gain more travel options and enterprises will be able to transport goods faster and easier. This will bring benefits to both large cities and local communities - said Piotr Wyborki, president of the board of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. - Expansion of the railway network in the Lodz Voivodeship is a key element of our activities to increase the efficiency of passenger and freight transport. Investments, including the construction of subsequent routes, will allow you to create a new connection network in the region and the country. Together, we will conduct analyzes regarding the improvement of bandwidth on key lines, which will contribute to the further dynamic development of railway infrastructure - said Marcin Mochocki, board member, director of investment implementation. - Our region faces a transport revolution. Huge projects, such as high -speed railway or the construction of two tunnels at the center of Lodz, open up new opportunities for social, cultural and economic development. However, these investments cannot exist without their tributaries in the form of regional connections. The response to dynamic changes in Lodz is the railway pact.
