The Climate is Right for Trains
Transportation fuels the world’s economy – driving global productivity, creating jobs, connecting people and facilitating social and economic development.
In times of volatile oil prices and an uncertain economy, rail as a transportation mode stands alone in its ability to combine energy efficiency with economic and environmental performance.
As well as transporting high volumes of passengers – whether on long distance routes or within cities - a thriving rail network supports significant employment for people building, operating and maintaining trains and track and serving customers.
Rail transportation represents not only leading technology, but is additionally a prime mover in economic growth. It is also the most comprehensive solution to the challenges of sustainable mobility, combating urban congestion and benefiting societies environmentally as well as economically.
