Euro 2012 is a massive transportation challenge for the host nations. Poland and Ukraine must ensure that fans have the possibility to freely move about between cities hosting matches as well as the interior of the host cities themselves.

The coordinator for transportation matters is responsible for overseeing these works. His task is oversight of works connected with construction and renovation of roads, motorways, train stations and rail lines, commencing with design work and continuing up to the moment such facilities are handed over for use. He works in tight conjunction with institutions responsible for the realization of such investments, such as the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, Bureau of Strategy and Development PKP S.A., and the Bureau of Investment Realization PKP Polish Railways S.A.

A majority of fans who will visit our country in June 2012 will come by airplane. Because of this, is is necessary to modernize (in fact rebuild) the airports of EURO 2012 host cities. Along with this, temporary terminals will be introduced during the tournament. An important matter is the transportation between city centers and airports, as well as good municipal transportation systems.

An alternative to air travel is train transport. In Poland, primary lines in the rail network are undergoing modernization and will continue to be worked on over the coming years. In addition, reconstruction of main railway stations is planned in both host countries so that they will be able to serve a greater number of passengers. With regards to automobile transportation, investment designed to modernize and expand the express road and motorway network in Poland will continue.

In a few cities (Chorzów, Gdańsk, Kraków, Warsaw) work is taking place to connect airports with city centers via light rail. This will guarantee high capacity and shorten travel times. Another advantage is its environmental friendliness. In the remaining cities, road infrastructure is being modernized in order to shorten bus and car travel times.
