Rail Baltica is a rail transport infrastructure project that integrates the Baltic States in the European rail network connecting Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland. It is a fully interoperable railway line of more than 870 km in length designed for both passenger and freight transport and planned to become operational in 2027. The Rail Baltica transport demand model project, led by TRT, has developed and implemented a multimodal transport model to forecast the passenger and freight demand for the Rail Baltica infrastructure up to the year 2056.

How much will the transition to sustainable urban mobility cost in European cities? Which benefits and changes in mobility will it bring? What will be the most cost-effective policies to accelerate this transition? These are some of the questions that a new study from TRT Trasporti e Territorio has been replying to. The study, commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility and released today, produced a quantification of the costs and benefits of the transition to sustainable urban mobility in European cities by 2030 and 2050. The analysis was carried out with the modelling tool MOMOS, which allowed to assess the impacts of different mobility transition scenarios.

TRT is organising a Global knowledge exchange online event on 16 and 17 September, a cooperation between the World Bank Group and the CIVITAS initiative.

The HiReach project, in collaboration with Impact Hub Vienna, has launched the HiReach Startup Lab, a Europe-wide accelerator program for mobility startups. The program is an opportunity to develop innovative solutions that address transport poverty. HiReach supports startups willing to improve the accessibility of urban and rural areas considering the needs of vulnerable citizens (low-income, women, children, elderly, migrants, etc.). The accelerator program offers startups a unique opportunity to prototype their solutions with the support of a dedicated Host Company, professional business coaching, and financial support up to 20.000 EUR. The top 5-10 startups will showcase at the ITS European Congress in Lisbon in May 2020 and during the demo day in Brussels in September 2020.
