(View full-sized map<\/a>)<\/p>\n The six CAREC corridors link the region\u2019s key economic hubs to each other, and connect the landlocked CAREC countries to other Eurasian and global markets. The strategic framework for the CAREC Transport Program lays out the next phase of priority investments in transport infrastructure along the corridors.<\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 1: Europe\u2013East Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 2: Europe\u2013Mediterranean\u2013East Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 3: Russian Federation\u2013Middle East and South Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 4: Russian Federation\u2013East Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 5: East Asia\u2013Middle East and South Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Corridor 6: Europe\u2013Middle East and South Asia<\/a><\/p>\n CAREC Designated Rail Corridors<\/a><\/p>\n The CAREC Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy (TTFS 2020)<\/a> presented an investment plan in upgrading all six transport corridors to international standards. Under the 2020 strategy, goals of 7,800 kilometers (km) of CAREC corridor roads and 1,800 km of rail track built were achieved in 2017. Corridors 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 remain as defined by the TTFS 2020 in 2013. Corridor 2 was revised in 2017 after Georgia joined the CAREC program. The corridor extension to Georgia expands the CAREC multimodal network connectivity to the Black Sea ports and to the land border with Turkey.<\/p>\n As people and goods move faster and more efficiently through the corridors, significant improvements are seen in trade between the CAREC countries, with other regions, and in transit trade. Increased trade, in turn, supports business development, creates jobs, and brings a better quality of life to the people of the region.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.carecprogram.org\/uploads\/CAREC-Transport-Strategy-2030-1.jpg\"){kind=spacer}
