TEN-T envisages coordinated improvements to primary roads, railways, inland waterways, airports, seaports, inland ports and traffic management systems, so as to provide integrated and intermodal long-distance high-speed routes for the movement of people and freight throughout Europe. A decision to adopt TEN-T was made by the European Parliament and Council in July 1996, and as a result of this, the EU works to promote the networks by a combination of leadership, coordination, issuance of guidelines, and the funding of aspects of development through a series of projects.

In general, TEN-T projects are nonetheless funded to a major extent by from national governments. Other funding sources include: European Community funds (ERDF, Cohesion Funds, TEN-T budget), loans from international financial institutions (e.g. the European Investment Bank), and private funding.
At its meeting in Essen in 1994, the European Council endorsed a list of 14 TEN-T 'specific' projects, drawn up by a group chaired by then Commission Vice-President Henning Christophersen. Following the recommendations of 2003 from the Van Miert high-level group on the TEN-T, the Commission compiled a new list of 30 priority projects to be launched before 2010.
The 30 axes and priority projects are listed below. A map showing the 30 projects, in PDF format, may be found here:
In addition to the various TENs, there are ten Pan-European corridors, which are paths between major urban centres and ports, mainly in Eastern Europe, which have been identified as requiring major investment. The international E-road network is a naming system for major roads in Europe managed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. It numbers roads with a designation beginning with "E" (such as "E1").
