Forward-looking mobility solutions to improve communities where over 90% of Americans live and work!

As rail continues to establish itself as the most sustainable mode of transportation, forward-thinking policy and governance frameworks become essential. At the Global Rail Strategic Conference, Policy Governance emerges as a key theme, driving the industry’s progress by addressing barriers to entry, enhancing system interoperability, and accelerating the introduction of disruptive technologies. Sessions in the Spotlight: • Profitable railways: lessons learned from self-sustainable freight and passenger networks • From road to rail: policy and governance mechanisms to drive modal shift and advance decarbonisation agendas • Keeping competition on track: the future of the passenger rail market in Europe and lessons learned for the Middle East region • Beyond the business case: fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration for high-speed rail success • The evolving economics of long-distance passenger transport: experience versus speed • Developing railway systems to ensure territorial cohesion and boost economic development Global Rail is the premier event for discussing the future of rail transport. Engage with industry experts to explore how strategic investments and policy innovations are driving advancements in rail technology, infrastructure, and sustainability.

From high-speed rail, to subway cars, to airport people movers and beyond, Alstom has created thousands of jobs making low carbon transportation for communities around the country. Learn more about the economic benefits created last year in our first U.S. Impact Report #AlstomImpactReport. https://ow.ly/emZe50QTgY8

Overall, investing in job creation in the rail industry can have far-reaching benefits for the community, ranging from economic growth & improved infrastructure to environmental sustainability & enhanced quality of life for residents. #AlstomImpactReport

The Railway Industry Association (#RIA) has released an ambitious blueprint titled “Delivering a Lower Cost, Higher Performing Net Zero Railway by 2050”. The Association, which mainly represents the interests of supply chain members, says it is aiming to revolutionise the #UK’s railway network. So, no pressure there. Their report outlines a comprehensive strategy. It promises to develop the network for both freight and passenger operators. It claims to achieve this at a lower cost and faster pace than current plans allow. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

The European Rail Manifesto 2024-2029 'On Track For Europe' outlines a roadmap for efficient rail passenger and freight services and a high-capacity rail infrastructure. CER calls on EU policymakers to position railways as a core tool driving Europe's sustainability and prosperity. With #railways being the most sustainable and energy-efficient mode of transport as well as able to foster economic ecosystems along its value chain, ‘On Track for Europe’ proposes four pillars for good policy actions: 🤝 Guaranteeing fair competition between modes of transport; 🚄 Ensuring adequate financing of railways; ✅ Deploying rail key digital enablers; 🌍 Finding a new, greener approach to market and competition policies. The four policy pillars are accompanied by 42 concrete policy proposals to inspire reflection on the shape of future #transport orientations. The Manifesto is the result of the work of all CER members and benefits from the information that has been gathered in consultations with external stakeholders across Europe.

US Rail operators – and the US rail industry in general – can no longer afford to look at onboard systems in isolation. Instead, every system upgrade or replacement should be looked at in the context of the train as a whole...->Enter the digital train. Gabriel J. Lopez-Bernal describes two paths in how to successfully adopt the digital train strategy. Story in Railway Technology & Future Rail: https://lnkd.in/gtG5E46r #passengerrail #connectedjourney 🚊
