Minister Rashad Nabiyev stated at WUF13 that building more roads alone doesn't solve traffic congestion.

Since 2021, transit cargo volumes have nearly doubled, with about 17 million tons transported across Eurasia last year.

The Middle Corridor connects Central Asia, allowing trains from China to reach the Turkish border in 15-18 days.

New logistics centers and economic zones are emerging. Urban transformation aims to shift citizens from private cars to public transport.

In Baku, the number of taxis dropped from 27,000 to 20,000, and working hours normalized. Micromobility and the "15-minute city" concept are being implemented.

Roads are planned holistically: buses, railways, and metro complement each other. A digital twin helps predict infrastructure efficiency.

The share of car trips in the city fell from 50% to 40%, targeting 30% by 2030. Road fatalities decreased from 9 to 7 per 100,000 people, aiming for 4.
