by CIPRA International published Jun 10, 2020 last modified Feb 21, 2024 02:46 PM — filed under:
The strain placed on people and nature by transit traffic in the narrow Alpine valleys is a running sore in European transport policy, and not only at the Brenner Pass. This is nonetheless today’s hotspot for dramatically increasing truck traffic and air pollution, with the population plagued by permanent traffic jams and noise pollution, in part also caused by ever more freight trains.

224 million tonnes of goods rolled through the Alps last year, a new record – more than two thirds of it on trucks.

Freight transport belongs on the rails
by CIPRA International published Sep 01, 2020 last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM — filed under:
Agreement on the Eurovignette Directive must not be delayed any longer. CIPRA International and the "iMonitraf!" network are therefore calling for rapid agreement to ease the burden on humans and nature.

Eurovignette Directive: Renewed postponement at the expense of climate protection and population
by CIPRA International published Jun 22, 2020 last modified Feb 17, 2022 03:30 PM — filed under: , ,
The treatment of the Eurovignette Directive by the transport ministers of the EU states is postponed until 28th of September.

Point of view: For a cultural change in transit traffic
by alpMedia published Mar 16, 2021 last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM — filed under: , , , , , ,
Trade has been the driving force behind cultural and social development in the Alpine region. Transit traffic in its current form, on the other hand, mainly benefits regions away from the Alps. To ban noise and exhaust fumes from the Alpine valleys we need more than a watered-down EU directive, says Stephan Tischler, President of CIPRA Austria.
