Abstract: Purpose: The paper examines regional disparities in road transport development across Polish voivodeships over the 2010-2023 period, aiming to identify the scale and dynamics of spatial differentiation in this sector.
Design/methodology/approach: The study employs the TOPSIS multi-criteria decisionmaking method to construct a composite index of road transport development based on 25 diagnostic indicators grouped into six thematic areas. The analysis covers all 16 Polish voivodeships in two reference years: 2010 and 2023.
Findings: The results indicate persistent regional disparities, though with a modest trend towards convergence. The highest-ranking regions – Małopolskie, Śląskie, and Wielkopolskie – retained their leading positions, while the most notable improvements were recorded in Podlaskie. Key development drivers include infrastructure density, fleet structure, public transport availability, and investment share.
Research limitations/implications: The study is limited by the availability and consistency of regional data across the analysed years. Future research could extend the comparative perspective to other EU countries or explore causal links between transport development and
socio-economic indicators.
Practical implications: The findings provide a robust analytical basis for regional transport policy and investment prioritisation. They support the formulation of targeted strategies aimed at reducing spatial inequalities and enhancing transport accessibility.
Social implications: By identifying risks of transport exclusion and access gaps, the study contributes to the discussion on social cohesion and regional equity in the development of the road transport system.
Originality/value: The paper offers a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of road transport development at the regional level in Poland, filling a research gap by integrating infrastructure, vehicle stock, and transport service indicators into a unified evaluation framework
