Abstract

In a quite short period the Estonian Road Administration has passed serious changes in order to improve its professional capability on the field ofroad management. Two essential goals had been set and basically solved inthe years 1988-2006 (transition from controlled economy to market economy) strategic and technical restructuring the road sector. This presentationdeals both with the initial state with its problems, and the activities that followed with their solutions. Introduction of the new concept and thenew working style required adequate organization with adequate human and material resources. Structural reforms made step by step, education and training of people, reformation of planning system and finally good cooperation with neighbours ensured the results that have been achieved to date. As is shown by the presented examples, nothing happened at a time and all that exists now is not ideal yet. Still there are no serious problems connected to management and administering now. Some progress has taken place inrelations with road users. For a while our efforts can be more concentrated on how to meet operative tasks. But reforms are not over, of course, asthe following steps are expected to be done already in 2007- 2008. For the covering abstract see ITRD E139491.
