Socio-economic development creates a lot of problems and challenges. At various levels, these problems are different, for example: • globalisation, generating increased demand for transport, presents new challenges for transport, especially international; • increasing disparities in regional development, as a source of social problems, make it necessary to look for more effective ways of eliminating these disparities; • problems of towns and large cities, associated amongst other things with the growing needs of transport and insufficient infrastructure, reduce the standard of living and require an urgent solution. Contemporary socio-economic problems have significant impact on transport, but on the other hand through changes in transport, many of them can be partly solved. This article aims to analyze the possibilities of developing inland waterways to solve today’s social and economic problems.
