Overview

Background & policy context:

The climate challenges have put rail transportation back on the top of the political agenda all over Europe. This raises several questions in the Norwegian context: To what extent and under what circumstances are the international experiences transferable to the Norwegian context? What factors influence rail demand and social costs, and how can these be exploited? Do traditional models for financing rail transport enhance or hamper effective railway investments?

Objectives:

The overall objective is to produce knowledge that enhances the efficiency, flexibility and reliability of rail transportation in ways that promote it as an integrated part of a sustainable transport system in Norway.
