The development of inland waterways transport in Poland is a great chance to relieve road transport, which currently accounts for 86 % of transport in Poland, with only 0.4 % for water transport. This is important primarily due to the obligations of the so-called White Paper (Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area issued in 2011 by the European Commission). The article presents the results of research carried out under the TRANS TRITIA project, implemented in an international consortium consisting of cross-border regions of three countries: Poland, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The research concerned the construction of scenarios for the development of inland waterways in Poland, taking into account not only the requirements of the White Paper, but also the needs arising from the growing needs for the implementation of international freight with a significant share of inland waterways.
