Lietuvos apskričių  krovininio kelių transporto rodiklių lyginamoji analizė

The paper analyses the road freight transport indicators for Lithuanian counties in the period 2020-2024 in order to assess their distribution and impact on regional economies. Based on statistical data, the study applies a comparative analysis, where statistical indicators are converted into relative indicators and evaluated. The aim of the paper is to compare the performance of road freight transport in Lithuania by county. The study analyses the change in the number of road freight transport operators, the vehicle fleet, the road network as part of the transport infrastructure and trends in local freight transport.The paper highlights the underlying causes of regional disparities. The main influences on counties are the density of transport undertakings and their activity intensity, which depends on the volume of freight loaded, as well as the accessibility of the road network and the development of infrastructure. In regions where the concentration of freight transport enterprises and the number of vehicles are higher, the transport sector represents an important part of the economy of a given county, with a positive impact on employment and business development.
