Description

Eurostat’s TRANSPORT statistical theme provides comprehensive, harmonised data on passenger and freight movement across Europe. The datasets cover all major transport modes, including:

  • Air
  • Rail
  • Road
  • Maritime
  • Inland waterways
  • Oil pipelines

The data is designed to support consistent analysis of transport systems, mobility, infrastructure, and logistics across European countries and regions.

The datasets include information on:

Transport Activity

  • Passenger transport volumes
  • Freight and goods transport
  • Passenger-kilometres and tonne-kilometres
  • Traffic flows and transport performance

Infrastructure and Equipment

  • Roads, railways, ports, airports, inland waterways, and pipelines
  • Vehicle, aircraft, wagon, and vessel fleets
  • Infrastructure investment and maintenance

Enterprises and Employment

  • Transport-related enterprises
  • Economic performance indicators
  • Employment statistics across transport sectors

Safety Statistics

  • Road, rail, maritime, and aviation accidents
  • Fatalities and injuries
  • Dangerous goods incidents

Regional and Sustainability Indicators

  • Regional transport flows and infrastructure (NUTS regions)
  • Modal split indicators
  • Intermodal transport statistics
  • Transport performance relative to GDP

Geographic and Time Coverage

The data is available at:

  • National level for all EU Member States
  • Regional level (NUTS 1, 2, and some NUTS 3 datasets)
  • Selected port, airport, and transport corridor levels

Publication frequency varies by dataset and transport mode, including:

  • Monthly
  • Quarterly
  • Annual

Many datasets also include historical time series for trend analysis.

Data Sources

Eurostat supplies the datasets which are compiled from:

  • National statistical authorities
  • EU transport agencies
  • International statistical collaborations
  • Mandatory EU data collections
  • Voluntary Eurostat / ITF / UNECE questionnaires

Use Cases

Transport Policy and Infrastructure Planning

This data helps government departments, transport authorities, infrastructure planners, and regulators extract insights into passenger and freight flows, infrastructure utilisation, transport accessibility, and long-term mobility trends for applications such as:
- Evaluating transport demand
- Infrastructure investment
- Network capacity
- Regional connectivity

Freight, Logistics, and Supply Chain Analysis

Insights derived from this data, including trade and freight corridors, modal usage, freight volumes, container traffic, and transport efficiency, can help logistics providers, freight operators, ports, supply chain analysts, and consulting firms understand freight movement patterns across road, rail, maritime, inland waterways, and air transport.

ESG Investment Analysis

Key insights such as modal split trends, intermodal transport adoption, transport intensity, and changes in transport performance over time are useful for environmental agencies, sustainability teams, policymakers, ESG analysts, and researchers to monitor shifts toward lower-emission transport modes and evaluating sustainable mobility policies.

Regional Mobility and Accessibility Analysis

By understanding connectivity between regions, infrastructure availability, airport and port activity, and public transport coverage, governments, urban planners, development agencies, and researchers can assess transport accessibility and regional transport disparities across Europe.

Market Analysis

This data supports transport market intelligence and benchmarking across countries, regions, and transport modes for transport operators, investors, consultants, and economic analysts.

By comparing transport performance across countries, regions, and transport modes, the key insights that can be derived include:
- Market size
- Passenger demand
- Freight growth
- Fleet composition, and
- Comparative transport performance indicators

Transport Safety and Risk Assessment

Useful for safety regulators, insurers, transport agencies, research institutions, this data can be used to analyse transport accidents, fatalities, and operational safety across transport modes.

Key insights extracted from this data may include:
- Accident trends
- High-risk transport segments
- Dangerous goods incidents
- Comparative safety performance across regions and modes
