	Summary:
	Critical infrastructure is a generally accepted term that describes the infrastructure necessary to provide for the basic needs of the state, economy and society. Transport infrastructure is a generally complex creation that includes various disciplines and components, and is exposed to different impacts during its lifetime. In general, the most important traffic connections in the country have always been characterized as critical infrastructure. However, for managers and local communities, almost all road and rail routes are critical because their loss would impede free movement and potentially lead to the isolation of communities. The aim of this paper is to define and explain the concept of critical infrastructure in transport, especially in the context of providing resources and taking management actions to protect it.
