Point of view: For a cultural change in transit traffic
https://www.cipra.org/en/news/point-of-view-for-a-cultural-change-in-transit-traffic
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.No publisheralpMedia 2/2021Point of viewtransalpine goods transporttransalpine transportFocus TransitTransittransport policy, transport planning2021/03/16 05:00:00 GMT+1NewsHarmful transit traffic

224 million tonnes of goods rolled through the Alps last year, a new record – more than two thirds of it on trucks. To decrease the pressure on nature and humans along the transit axes, railways and roads have be on the same level playing field, says Jakob Dietachmair, Project Manager at CIPRA International.No publisheralpmedia 7/2019Point of viewTransittransalpine goods transport2019/11/07 06:00:00 GMT+1NewsAn Alpine Crossing Exchange is legally feasible
