New funds for dual-use railroads. CEUTP announces call for proposals

The new competition is a direct result of changes to the FEPW program approved by the European Commission in 2026. As a result of the mid-term review, a new priority, dual-use rail investments, was introduced into the program. Under the call FEPW.07.01 titled “Resilient civil and military mobility,” Poland has over PLN 897 million for this purpose.

The measure aims to strengthen rail infrastructure and improve its preparedness for both daily passenger and freight traffic and for emergencies. In the context of the latter, these investments are expected to contribute, among other things, to ensuring the smooth evacuation of the population, the transport of humanitarian aid, and the movement of troops and military equipment, while improving travel comfort and safety.

Support is expected to cover activities such as:

• Reconstruction, modernization or revitalization of selected sections of railroad lines,
• Improving the technical performance of lines and the safety of their use,
• Adaptation of infrastructure to the needs of people with limited mobility.

The projects will cover the civilian and military TEN-T network.

The call for proposals runs from April 20 to June 2, 2026, and the level of EU funding can be up to 85% of eligible costs. PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. is the sole beneficiary of the measure.
