This report presents comparative data on the state and the impacts of the Finnish transport system in relation mostly to other European Union countries. The data are based on freely available sources on the Internet as well as relevant Finnish documents. As the available data do not cover all the relevant subjects, the comparison presented is not all-inclusive. The purpose of the report is to give readers an opportunity to make observations on distinctive differences between Finland and other European countries. No conclusions on these differences are drawn in this report. As the comparison in this report is country-specific, the data mostly relate to road and rail transport. Shipping and air traffic being distinctively international, country-specific comparison is seldom relevant in these two transport modes. The finance of the transport system is discussed for the part of mass transit only. It seems evident that there is no relevant comparative information on the finance of construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure available. The Ministry aims at developing this international comparison into a regular updated system for the follow-up of the state of the Finnish transport system.
