The ROLA as a matter of responsibility

It is precisely because we, as the Austrian transport sector, have the responsibility to relieve the burden on the population suffering from noise and exhaust pollution along the major transit routes through Austria - above all the Tyrolean Brenner route - that it is our task to transport more goods by rail.

Shifting transport from road to rail is simply an environmental and social necessity. After all, the transport sector is responsible for about one third of the EU's total CO2 emissions. It is about our climate, about a healthy, intact environment. And because the freighters surveyed are not indifferent, many have been relying on ROLA as the best alternative to road transport for 15 years or even 27 years. And thus on the simplest solution to stop the strongly growing transit of heavy goods vehicles by truck and to shift freight traffic to rail.
