SONORA addresses the need for improved multimodal accessibility in Central Europe in South-North dimensions. Building upon past project experiences which focused on the landscape and general transport conditions and plans within the area, SONORA targets to incisively bring forward the state of the art on the deployment of primary transport infrastructure and services, through trans-national collaboration to prioritise: transport network development, removal of obstacles in the infrastructure realisation process, activation of services along itineraries.

These activities will support the development of a primary Central European multimodal transport network in the South-North dimension, through targeted interventions regarding firstly specific needs of individual areas which have trans-national relevance for the integrity of the entire corridor, secondly improved accessibility for landlocked countries to European seaports and thirdly facilitating intermodality for road, rail, waterways.

The establishing of strategic cooperation between and within trans-European transport corridors, the facilitation of connections between high priority transport corridors and national and regional networks and the support of deployment of sustainable transport modes are especially focused within the project.
