Abstract
Transport was one of the main areas of common policy when the European Economic Community (EEC) was founded in 1957. Up to the mid-1980s, European transport policy was characterised by slow, incremental, piecemeal progress where EEC member states had little political appetite and shared few common aims for transport policy. From the mid-1980s onwards, the development of European transport policy was characterised by a raft of liberalisation policies paving the way for the European Single Market and more attention to the environmental and social impacts of transport policy.
