Transport Corridor
The creation and operations of international rail, road and sea routes, co-ordinated to transport cargo long distances, usually international and designed to benefit all participating countries. For example, the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), also known as the Middle Corridor; and the European Union’s Ten-T network.
An area where one or more modes of transport operate and share a common course and specifics of freight transportation. Transport corridors can generate wider economic benefits and costs through their effects on a potentially diverse set of development outcomes.
This topic is key for ports in Southern Europe, the Caspian Sea and Central Asia – developing trade between Europe and Asia.
