Transport

    Rail, bus and air transport.
    Electric multiple unit type 48WE The total length of railway lines on which passenger transport services are operated in the Wielkopolska Region stands at 1,907 km. The state of the railway infrastructure is currently not satisfactory, and the prompt modernisation and revitalisation of many lines is essential to increase their capacity and enable faster travel times for passengers across the region.

    Each year, the Wielkopolska Regional Government allocates increasingly larger funds to the organisation of regional passenger rail transport. The Regional Government successively purchases new rolling stock, performs periodic maintenance (overhauls and major repairs), and modernises its existing fleet. Currently, the Wielkopolska Region owns a total of 77 vehicles, including 53 electric multiple units (EMUs) operating on electrified lines (10 vehicles of the 48WE series, 5 of the 48WEb series, 4 of the 48WEd series, 22 of the EN76 series, 5 of the EN57AL series, and 7 of the EN57AKW series) as well as 24 diesel-powered railcars serving traffic on non-electrified lines (3 vehicles of the SA139 series, 10 of the SA132 series, 2 of the SA134 series, 7 of the SA108 series, and 2 of the SA105 series). The rolling stock is fully adapted to transport passengers with disabilities in wheelchairs as well as bicycles, and it is equipped with a modern passenger information system, CCTV monitoring, air conditioning, and defibrillators.

    To date, approximately PLN 1.4 billion (gross) has been allocated for the purchase, repair, and modernisation of rolling stock, which includes over PLN 430 million in EU funds, PLN 840 million from the Region's own budget, and over PLN 150 million from the State budget.

    The aforementioned rolling stock is utilised for the provision of regional passenger rail services by Koleje Wielkopolskie (the public transport Operator) under a Public Service Contract concluded with the Organiser, i.e., the Wielkopolska Region. The second public rail transport Operator with whom the Wielkopolska Region has signed a Public Service Contract is Polregio S.A., which operates connections using its own rolling stock.

    In 2025, 215 regular bus lines and 227 special lines (school transport and employee shuttle services) operated under the authorisation of the Marshal of the Wielkopolska Region. The total number of bus lines in Wielkopolska is significantly higher when municipal, district, and interregional transport routes are taken into account.

    The Poznań-Ławica Henryk Wieniawski Airport serves as the “gateway to the world” for the Wielkopolska Region. In 2025, it handled 4,140,000 passengers.

    The existence of an easily accessible airport that offers a wide range of convenient direct and connecting flights is one of the most critical factors driving the competitive advantage of regions. Access to air transport is also one of the key criteria determining the quality of life in a given region and is a major prerequisite for choosing a region as an investment location. In 2025, the Poznań-Ławica Airport focused on key modernisation investments aimed at improving passenger comfort and safety.

    Furthermore, there are six smaller aerodromes with sporting and utility functions located in Wielkopolska (in Bednary, Kobylnica, Kąkolewo, Michałków near Ostrów Wielkopolski, Strzyżewice near Leszno, and Żerniki) as well as 48 airfields.
