Equal access to reliable transportation is necessary for development and key to equitable and sustained growth. It brings education, health services, and jobs within reach of all communities, expands access to local, regional, and global markets, and helps reduce poverty. To support economic development, SDG 9 focuses on high-quality, reliable, sustainable, and resilient regional and trans-border infrastructure. SDG target 9.1 is about bringing affordable and equitable transport access to everyone.
