Planning of National Transport Infrastructure
In the Islamic Countries
57
As discussed in sectio the Nurly Zhol pays particular attention to the transit potential of
Kazakhstan. As such the multimodal transport strategies and integration of the national
transport infrastructure with the neighbour countries and transnational transport networks
such as CAREC and TRACECA, are incorporated in the Program. The Program also came up with
a list of projects, some of them are listed below. It is obvious that non-motorised transport is not
covered in the transport infrastructure planning in Kazakhstan.
The Program incorporated clear quantitative target indicators for every year of the program
period as indicated here below.
