A recent European Commission working paper stated Creating a dynamic EU economy and fostering deeper integration of the national economies rely on a properly functioning transport system. However, transport activities have certain negative consequences, which could turn economic growth into unsustainable development if left unmanaged Rising traffic levels in the European Union have lead to increasing congestion, causing delays and unreliable journey times for both individuals and firms. To the traveler, congestion means lost time, missed opportunities, frustration, and a waste of personal resources. To the employer, congestion means lost worker productivity, delivery delays, and increased costs. Nationally - and internationally - speed, reliability and the cost of urban and inter-city freight movements are increasingly affected by congestion.
