This dissertation analyzes the institutional arrangements, management system and financing management of the transportation sector in the Czech Republic since 1993 up to present. In the case of the institutional framework, the time series was extended to 1969 in order to define the starting conditions and the introduction of the topic into the context of the transformation process. Due to the necessity to take into account the Czech Republic's membership in the EU and the realization of the European transport and cohesion policy, implicitly the issue goes beyond the national dimension. The thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the important national economic sector of transport, using the macroeconomic point of view, informed insight into specific transport and economic issues as well as a multidisciplinary approach. The research is primarily focused on two central government budgets: Chapter 327 Ministry of Transport and The State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI). The main conclusion is the recommendation of a fundamental institutional change in the current system. The original reasons for establishing the state extra-budgetary fund are outdated; under current circumstances, the removal of SFDI and the transfer its agenda to a central state administration body can be considered as a solution that is more appropriate. The second option is a systemic change, on the contrary, to strengthen SFDI by adjusting competencies and ensuring stable and effective funding.
