Europe on Rail - EU conference: Making EU cross-border travel fit for 55

With the increasing need to save energy and resources, the urgent need to exit oil and gas consumption and a lack of climate-compatible options to travel via air, rail has an important role to play in climate-friendly mobility – and a historic chance to increase its share of travelling across Europe. With so far only seven percent of cross-border traffic, fuel prices and climate costs weighing in on road and air the potential for rail is huge. At the same time, trans-European services are lacking a competent European coordination agent and the rail grid direly needs bottlenecks solved. How can we align infrastructure investments with our climate targets? And who should become a driving force to improve trans-European rail services?
