Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

On 30 July 2024, the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, with support from the National Endowment for Democracy, presented at a round table its analytical note on Moldova's draft Mobility Strategy 2030. The note was written by Vitalie Rapcea, Expert-Grup's director of the economic and environmental infrastructure programme.

The note recognises the importance of the “Mobility Strategy 2030” for integrated mobility and offers recommendations for finalising it. These include structuring the document around five pillars (authorities, regulations, infrastructure, operators, users), analysing the problems and constraints of each pillar, aligning objectives and priority directions with those problems, linking monitoring indicators to priorities and objectives, and incorporating governance indicators for the whole sector and the authorities involved.

State Secretary Mircea Păscăluță of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development called the strategy essential for modernising the national transport system and thanked external partners and the European Union for their support. Boris Gherasim, Andrei Cuculescu and Oleg Tofilat made specific proposals. Expert-Grup director Adrian Lupușor welcomed the ministry's commitment to integrate the proposals into the final version.
