How well do road and rail connect people and goods?
ITF - International Transport Forum
Global dialogue for better transport
The latest ITF Statistics Brief includes a proxy measure of connectivity: the road and rail network length per population. This indicates the extent of transport infrastructure available to serve the population in each country.?
Estonia leads for greatest road length per capita and is second for railway length. Canada’s leading rail track length per population is used primarily for freight, 62% of which is moved by rail mainly servicing the US and international markets via coastal ports. Albania’s challenging mountainous terrain and past political isolation have impeded road development, as shown in the data. The central European country is now undergoing significant investment in the road network.
How connected is your country by road?
Road network length per 100 000 inhabitants, 2022 or most recent data year
How connected is your country by rail?
Railway track length per 100 000 inhabitants, 2022 or most recent data year
