Metadata
| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and trans-border infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all. Trans-border infrastructure development is best captured by passenger and freight volumes moved by Member States and Regions. A growth in passenger and freight volumes shows a robust infrastructure development happening in States and Regions along with the resultant socio-economic benefit. Air Transport is particularly important not only for the economic and job benefits but also because it is one of the only mode of transport that can be relied on during emergencies and disease outbreaks to reach food, medicines, medical personnel, vaccines and other supplies speedily to the affected persons in the affected areas. In addition, tracking how the non-road share of freight volumes, and the public transport share of passenger volumes, changes over time allows insights into the overall sustainability of the global transport system. |
| Target value of the indicator and its evaluation | |
| Definition | Passenger transport: number of passengers carried by each mode of transport, transport performance of each transport mode in passenger-kilometres (pkm – passenger-kilometre represents the transport of one passenger over a distance of one kilometre; freight transport: tonnes carried by each mode of transport, transport performance of each transport mode in tonne-kilometres (tkm – tonne-kilometre represents the movement of one tonne over a distance of one kilometre). |
| Measuring unit | Passengers, passenger-kilometers, tonnes, tonne-kilometers |
| Indicator disaggregation | Type of transport (Passenger transport: national, international; freight transport: national, international (import, export, transit)) |
| Reference period (resp. the period to which the indicator relates) | Year |
| Related geographical area | CZ (NUTS 0) |
| Comment | Inland waterway transport – mainly holiday and weekend passenger transport. Urban public transport – in 2018 change the methodology and the time series was recalculated retrospectively from 2015. Passenger car transport – expert estimation; in 2010 change in road traffic census methodology. |
| Update periodicity | Annually |
| Time coverage since | 2005 |
| Time coverage until | 2022 |
| Time series available at the data provider since | This indicator is historically available in the long term, it is a basic indicator in the transport sector. Since 2000 the methodology has practically not changed. |
| Data publication date (resp. the date when the data provider publishes (regularly) data; it is given in the format T + the number of days, months or years when T is the end of the reference period) | Quarterly data are published about 3 months after the end of the reference period, detailed breakdown of the given indicators is published annually about 7 months after the end of the reference period. |
