Press Release - Ambitious Track Access Charges Policy Needed to Reach Green Deal and Modal Shift Objectives

Press Release - Ambitious Track Access Charges Policy Needed to Reach Green Deal and Modal Shift Objectives

ERFA — 2023-11-10

News from Brussels

For rail freight to be able to meet the modal shift objectives of increasing rail freight volumes by 50% by 2030 and doubling volumes by 2050 , it needs to be cost competitive with other modes of transport, particularly road. This will require the implementation of Track Access Charge regimes which looks to ensure parity in cost for road and rail. Recent experiences have shown a fragmented approach to infrastructure charging throughout Europe. In several Member States, Infrastructure Managers are continuously adjusting infrastructure rates to increasingly allow rail to compete. In other cases, the opposite is being observed, where rail is becoming more expensive compared to road, undermining rail freight's ability to compete.
 

Press Release.
