Commuting traffic
Port of Rotterdam Authority, Zuid-Holland Bereikbaar, Deltalinqs, Rijkswaterstaat and the municipalities of Voorne aan Zee and Nissewaard are joining forces with the business sector to improve commuting traffic. This is important to both keep the port area attractive for businesses and safeguard Voorne-Putten and port accessibility.
How do I reach the port?
You can reach the port area by car, bicycle, water transport, company transport, and public transport. There are currently many roadworks in Zuid-Holland and the port area (A15). Before you travel, check the latest traffic information.
The Blankenburg Connection
This is a new motorway (A24) connecting Vlaardingen with the A15 near Rozenburg. The Blankenburg Connection improves the accessibility of the port and the region. A toll is required to use this road.
Alternatives to the car
The port area is also accessible by public transport. On Voorne‑Putten, and for example between Distripark Maasvlakte, Maasvlakte Transferium, Maassluis, Brielle, and Spijkenisse, you’ll find several regular and on‑demand bus lines, such as the Maasvlakte Hopper. No public transport nearby? Ask your employer about flexible commuting solutions such as vanpooling or bicycle incentive schemes.
Cycling in the port area
The port is also easy to reach by bike. On the map below you can find all cycle paths in the port. Want to know more about the benefits of business cycling?

Commuting solutions for employers
Every day, employees and clients travel to your organisation in the port area.
Zuid-Holland Bereikbaar and Port of Rotterdam support and advise on flexible mobility solutions for your staff, including car, bike, water transport, company transport, and public transport.
Transport concept Reizennaardehaven.nl
With the new platform Reizennaardehaven.nl (available in Dutch only), employees of a group of companies in the Botlek area can easily carpool, vanpool, or take the hopper to work. The new platform brings together various transport options, making commuting to the port more affordable, flexible, and sustainable. Until July 1, 2026, you can travel completely free of charge. Until then and thereafter, you will also receive mileage allowance from your employer.

Custom group transport
Many business parks in the port area have limited or no public transport connections. In those cases, collective company transport — such as a vanpool, shuttle, or coach — can be a good solution. See the Zuid-Holland Bereikbaar toolbox for collective company transport.
