September 2025 demonstrated the strongest progress in 2025, with the overall score rising to 1.48. Only the results of November 2023 were higher than this indicator, when the overall score was 1.73, and actual legislative changes reached a record 2.7. The intensification took place simultaneously at the legislative, planning and political levels, and implementation also showed positive progress. This is a breakthrough month, which contrasts significantly with the restrained dynamics of August. The breakthrough was achieved through the extension of the "transport visa-free regime" and the registration of the draft law on the National Bureau of Investigation on Transport, which implements a large part of Ukraine's European integration commitments in rail transport.

The score for actual legislative changes increased to 2.27 in September from 0 in August. This is a sharp and significant increase, which indicates intensive legislative activity and the approximation of Ukrainian transport legislation to the EU acquis. September demonstrates the highest indicator for a long period.

The assessment of planned legislative changes increased to 1.2 from 0.9 in August. This means an increase in activity in the preparation of new legislative initiatives, which complements the high level of actually adopted acts.

The score for agenda setting increased to 1.41 against 0.99 in August. This indicates the intensification of political statements, strategic documents, and public initiatives that determine the direction of transport in the context of European integration. The opening of a new section of the European railway between Chop and Uzhhorod was the key event here.

The implementation status indicator decreased to 0.4 from 0.44 in August. This indicates a deterioration in the implementation of already adopted decisions and regulations and moderate dynamics.

The overall score increased to 1.48 from 0.59 in August. This is a significant improvement in overall progress, driven by several factors: a jump in actual changes, active planning, and a marked increase in policy agenda setting.
