The report provides policy makers with a set of indicators and tools to measure accessibility and connectivity of border regions in Europe, as well as to identify areas where transport infrastructure is lacking and prioritize potential investments on the base of specific policy relevant criteria.

The approach employed uses detailed spatially disaggregate data encompassing the EU, Norway and Switzerland at grid level [1kmx1km] – a level of resolution that enables to take into account the specifications of the areas covered. Finally, data and results can be aggregated at different levels to provide a comprehensive view of border zones at different layers of policy analysis.
