The article attempts to outline the author’s concept of a regional/suburban railway services for the Radom subregion NUTS 3, referred to in this article as the Radom agglomeration railway. The population potential of the Radom subregion was also presented. The important element is the description of completed and planned infrastructure investments that will enable better operation of regional/suburban railways. The article also includes a classification of the different categories of trains operating on the railway lines of the Radom subregion. These are determined by the range of connections and the desired frequency of connections on a given route. The concept is primarily based on the use of existing infrastructure. A proposal for its extension with certain elements is included in the subsection ‘Proposal for the addition of rail infrastructure’.

The article provides an overview of the transport policy of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship since its establishment in 1999. It discusses the statutory competences of the newly formed voivodeship in the field of transport development policy and its evolution over the years, illustrated in successive regional development strategies and spatial development plans. An integral part of this policy is also the development of public transport, primarily railway transport. This is the result of the activities of two railway companies: Masovian Railways and Warsaw Commuter Railway. The article depicts the development path of the companies towards modern rail passenger transport operators, involving new and modernized rolling stock and with efficient technical facilities. The article also discusses the activity of the manager of voivodeship roads, which through numerous road repairs and reconstructions, creates a road network suitable for servicing regional road traffic. In addition, the article highlights the increasing role of bicycle transport in the spatial policy of the voivodeship. An important factor facilitating the implementation of competences in the transport sector is EU funding, which has made it possible to create modern rail and road infrastructure, as well as to purchase and modernize rolling stock.
