While passenger services are crucial, the government sees tremendous growth potential on the #freight side. 📌 He noted that Portugal is making significant investments to unlock the full potential of its railway system by 2030, including the modernization of two international #corridors and the acquisition of new urban, interregional, and #highspeed trains. 👉 He expressed confidence that the Assembly's collective efforts would strengthen the railway sector and increase public transport usage. #governance

🚄🌍 Time to listen to cities about railway! 🌍🚄 We’re proud to share our latest policy statement advocating for the prioritization of fast and high-quality passenger train connections across Europe! As cities across the continent work towards a more sustainable future, fast and high-quality rail plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions, connecting people and businesses, and fostering green growth. Better connecting long-distance transport and urban mobility has been recently reaffirmed through the new #TENTregulation and the concept of #urbannodes. As Apostolos Tzitzikostas, the next European Transport Commissioner has be tasked with designing a plan to better connect European capitals by high-speed rail, Eurocities calls for greater involvement of cities in railway decisions, ensuring that railway connectivity in Europe fully addresses cities' needs. The statement also outlines key actions for the EU, national governments, and railway companies to enhance rail infrastructure, create seamless cross-border travel, and make rail the preferred travel option. 📄 Read the full statement here: https://lnkd.in/enxFff4A
