Our Core Desire is for Municipalities to Connect, Counties to Connect. GUS Data Shows Over 3 Million Commute to Work in Another Municipality
- First and foremost, our core wish, one might say our desire, is for municipalities to connect with municipalities, and counties with counties. Because very often, it happens that employees commute to neighboring municipalities, sometimes through several municipalities. According to the latest GUS (Central Statistical Office) data, over 3 million employees commute to work in a municipality other than their place of residence. These are often distances exceeding 50 km. The average is over 40 km, and sometimes 70, 80 km. This means a huge effort, a reduction in the possibility of finding work closer by, and a significant loss of time commuting to work. These are everyday phenomena that we want to prevent. We want to make people's lives easier. We are currently implementing the largest program for the repair, renovation, and construction of new local roads in the history of the Third Polish Republic. You are aware of this. Approximately PLN 6 billion has been allocated within the framework of the Local Roads Fund. But after these roads, which are looking better and better, some new ones are being built, and others are being renovated, we want people to be able to travel to other neighboring towns and villages in a way that better suits their daily schedules, their needs for shopping, visiting hospitals, schools, work, friends, and family. These are the needs that truly make disappear what we sometimes talk about as Poland A and Poland B – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a meeting with local government officials as part of #PołączeniaLokalne (Local Connections).
- For me, this program also represents a huge opportunity for another wave of entrepreneurship, for stimulating another great wave of Polish capitalism. A healthily understood market system that will create new job opportunities – he continued. – By repairing, and sometimes even recreating, those vehicle-kilometers which have disappeared by half over the last 20 years, we are also deciding on a step that is intended to stimulate entrepreneurship. To increase the chances for business to create new jobs – emphasized the head of the Polish government.
