Introduction
On this page, please share any This page collects national (or regional or local) examples of attempts to monitor SDG ways countries are monitoring SDG 9.1.2. This includes links to National Reporting Platforms where relevant, in addition to descriptions of the country's approach.

Belarus
State statistical reporting on transport statistics is provided by resident organizations of the Republic of Belarus.

Carried goods by rail characterizes the mass of goods in tons, transported along the road, to the sections of the road in the domestic and international service.

Czechia
Czech Republic as a member of the EU follows the relevant EU Regulations for transport statistics. The Regulations concern road freight transport, inland waterways freight transport, rail passenger transport and rail freight transport, air passenger transport and air transport of cargo.

Slovenia
- Compilation guidance at Global Level
We believe that the optimum solution would be to include all modes of transport and, in our opinion, according to the territorial principle. Both measurement units – passenger-km and tonne-km – suit the purpose of this indicator(s) well.
Since countries are facing different challenges concerning the modal split, this kind of (basic) indicator(s) can help them calculate the shares among the modes that are of their national interest. In the case of Slovenia, the modal split between road and rail freight transport is very relevant, also the modal split of passenger transport between private cars and public transport. In other countries the modal split between rail and IWW transport of goods could be relevant. In recent years, Eurostat has worked on territorialisation of data (for all modes of transport based on national microdata matrices) and has made great progress. If the similar task/effort could be done on the Global level, that would be amazing. Data could be comparable by regions, countries, for the World, by modes, etc.
2. How is the indicator currently calculated?
In Slovenia we calculate these indicators for all modes of transport but not all can be compared and analysed (as modal split). The reason is that data for some of the indicators are collected according to the residency principle (road freight transport, passengers in public scheduled transport, etc.), while others are collected by the territorial principle (rail freight transport) Data are presented in passenger-km and tonne-km.
With the pilot survey on daily passenger mobility, we calculated the modal split of PKMs for the residents of Slovenia (territorial principle), so the share of PKMs made by walking and cycling in the total of road PKMs is now available.
3. Is the indicator simply tracking passenger and freight volumes, or is it treated as a modal split analysis?
In our transport statistics we are tracking passenger and freight volumes but we only rarely present them in a modal split analysis (see the reasons under 2.a). Currently the published transport indicators on SURS's website devoted to SDGs are:
- Share of collective transport modes in total passenger land transport (the ratio of passenger-km in land transport by means of transport - train, bus)
- Share of rail activity in total freight transport (the share of tonne-km by rail in total inland freight transport – rail, road)
See: https://www.stat.si/Pages/en/goals/goal-9.-build-resilient-infrastructure-promote-inclusive-and-sustainable-industrialization-and-foster-innovation. For the moment no other transport indicator is disseminated on SURS’s website devoted to SDGs (and since both are based on Eurostat recalculations and estimates we are not really satisfied with them). So far for the published indicators (the portal was established by SURS initiative and does not represent the national portal for the SDG indicators) no specific targets have been set for a specific mode.
4. Has your country adopted additional transport indicators to monitor the 2030 Development Agenda?
With existing published indicators SURS followed the Eurostat’s proposal of SDG indicators. By the end of the year 2019, some new selected indicators (modal split from passenger mobility survey and data on traffic performance) will be published on the same SDG portal to put focus on sustainable transport. At present we haven’t defined indicators which would focus on resilient infrastructure. But we might think about them in the near future.

The Office of management and Budget (OMB) submits the data for all of the SDG Indicators for the United States to the United Nations. The latest data submitted are here, and the source data for the passenger volumes are here.
