Israel is a highly developed economy in which transportation constitues an integral component in the country's development process.Currently '''Transportation in Israel''' primarily constitutes of nation wide rail transport, bus services, cycling (currently concentrating in the coast) as well as private vehicles. Most work related transportation in Israel is carried out by private motor vehicles, however in recent decades, Israel has prioritised the development of public transportation infrastructure. Cycling infrastructure is still primarily concentrated in the Tel Aviv region while light rail operate currently in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. 

A lack of inland waterways and the small size of the country make air and water transport of only minor importance in domestic transportation, but they are vitally important for Israel's international transport links. Demands of [[Demographics of Israel|population growth]], political factors, the [[Israel Defense Forces]], [[Tourism in Israel|tourism]] and increased [[traffic]] set the pace for all sectors, being a major driver in the [[mobility transition]] towards railways and public transit while moving away from motorized road transport.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.jewishpress.com/news/israel/transport-minister-michaeli-we-rank-private-vehicles-as-lowest-priority-pedestrians-highest/2021/10/19/ | title=Transport Minister Michaeli: We Rank Private Vehicles as Lowest Priority, Pedestrians Highest }}</ref>
