Maximising air to rail journeys

July 6, 2020

A study commissioned by T&E and conducted by Koios Strategy finds that ambitious modal shift from air to rail would have limited, though important, potential for emissions savings.

T&E recommends that, as part of the EU’s long-term decarbonisation strategy, improvements are made to develop a Europe-wide connected rail system combined with tax policies targeting aviation to deliver fair ticket prices that reflect the environmental impacts.
