PRIORITY FUNDING OBJECTIVES BUDGET

Projects on the Comprehensive Network

1. Removing bottlenecks and bridging missing links, enhancing rail interoperability, and, in particular, improving cross-border sections

 €65 million

Rail Freight Noise

2. Ensuring sustainable and efficient transport systems in the long run, with a view to preparing for expected future transport flows, as well as enabling all modes of transport to be decarbonised through transition to innovative low-carbon and energy-efficient transport technologies, while optimising safety

€35 million
