The world around us is changing fast. In view of the developments facing us, the leading position of the Netherlands cannot be taken for granted. To retain and strengthen our leading position in logistics, we must continue to focus on innovation and our spirit of entrepreneurship, because that is what we do best. We want to be number one in global logistics. And for this, good logistical accessibility is a major precondition. This is expressed in our vision that in 2030 the Top Corridors will facilitate a smooth, reliable, robust, safe and sustainable transport system that contributes to sustainable economic growth, with satisfied users. This growth should also go hand in hand with the optimum quality of life and living environment along the corridors.
