Impact
Spanning almost 900 km, the sustainability strategy that CPCS designed will help reduce carbon emissions, enhance passenger and freight connectivity, and support the European Union’s green transition goals. The RBGP sets a new benchmark for economically viable and environmentally responsible large-scale rail infrastructure, which will leave a lasting positive impact on the Baltic region.
