Promoting Intermodality in the Alps

Preliminary Conclusions of the Work Initiated Since the Conference of Regensberg

At the Regensberg Conference the ministers instructed the Steering Committee to directly follow the progress of the measures that have been initiated to promote alternatives to road transport in the Alps and to advance intermodal freight traffic. 

These measures combine the optimisation of existing railway lines, the realisation of new, more suitable possibilities of crossing the Alps by rail and the establishment of specific financing mechanisms to take account of the considerable public investments.

These political measures are being developed in particular within the framework of the European Union’s Trans-European Network Programme and the agreements between the EU and Switzerland regarding land-based transport.
