Due to its favourable economic and geographical position, Estonia has become a transit gateway for East-West as well as North-South connections. Its location is ideal for the creation of efficient transportation links and distribution chains of goods and services for companies in Europe and in other parts of the world.
In 2005 Estonian transport enterprises carried 96.4 million tons of goods, of which 70.7 % by railway, 28.4 % by road and 0.8 % by the sea.

Transport sector’s development has been closely connected to traffic safety and security, environmental protection, global competition and many other significant circumstances. The Estonian transport system has been successfully integrated into the EU and is continuously developed.
