Aspects environnementaux

Overall, the project complies with relevant EU and national environmental legislation and is eligible according to EIB environmental standards. The project is expected to result in positive environmental impacts by helping the rail sector to maintain or gain modal share in key segments of the passenger market that are most appropriately served by rail. On a passenger per kilometre basis, rail has the potential to generate significant energy savings, emission reductions and safety improvements compared to other transport modes. Rail transport may also improve noise levels on an aggregate basis.
