The Netherlands is the best country in the field of transport. Our country scores high on aspects such as infrastructure, CO2 emissions, road safety and consumer satisfaction. This is according to the European Commission's European Transport Scoreboard ranking.

The Netherlands comes out on top for the third time this year. The ranking is based on thirty categories. The Netherlands scores highest on fifteen of the thirty items. For instance, the Netherlands has the best infrastructure in Europe, by far the most charging stations for electric cars and is among the top traffic-safety countries in Europe and thus in the world. Transport regulations were also introduced on time in the Netherlands, as the only member state. In terms of private investment and employed women in transport, other European countries score higher.

The European Transport Scoreboard is formed with data from the European Statistics Office, the World Economic Forum and the European Environment Agency. With the ranking, the European Commission aims to improve the single market and further reduce CO2 emissions.
