European Union funding is an important contribution to the development of sustainable transport and communications infrastructure in Latvia. Investments are aimed at ensuring the mobility of citizens and changing their mobility habits, while also providing positive contribution to the achievement of EU Green Deal.

EUR 903 million from the European Union funds are available for the development of Latvia's transport and communications sectors from 2021 to 2027. More than EUR 870 million will be invested in the development of the transport sector, while EUR 33 million - for the development of the communications sector.

The investment will support three main EU policy objectives: “A more connected Europe”, “A greener Europe” and “A smarter Europe”.

Priorities of Latvia in the transport sector are promoting transition to sustainable and smart mobility and ensuring a sustainable European transport network.
