Introduction
Transportation plays a crucial role in connecting various stages of the supply chain,
from sourcing raw materials to delivering finished products to consumers. In regions

can gain a deeper understanding of how transportation systems can be optimized to
support economic growth, enhance efficiency, and ensure safety across different
modes of transport.
