Marco Polo II programme

This procedure establishes the Marco Polo II programme, which aims to shift the transport of goods from roads to more sustainable modes of transport, such as rail and inland waterways. By promoting combined and multimodal transport, the EU seeks to reduce traffic congestion and lower the environmental impact of freight logistics.

This affects transport companies and logistics operators. It introduces funding and incentives to encourage the use of greener transport alternatives, ultimately reducing atmospheric pollution and motor vehicle emissions across Europe.
