Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: The article presents selected results of research carried out among the local selfgovernment units in the West Pomerania Province. The aim of the article was to identify the main tasks of local self-government in shaping the passenger transport system in the region and an analysis of the status and scope of its realization in the studied region. The research method applied involved critical analysis of literature, documentary method and the method of the survey using a questionnaire. The results indicated an unsatisfactory level of involvement of local self-government units in West Pomerania province in the process of developing the passenger transport system in the region in reference to the needs of its users. Actions taken by local self-governments in this area come down only to the minimum provided in the Act on public transport (and often taken with a significant delay).
