What does Polish transportation look like after 20 years in the European Union? Are we really catching up with European leaders, or are we still halfway there? Participants in the first meeting of the new TOB@SGH series sought answers to these questions.

Poland is preparing to open up the rail market. This change is expected to increase competitiveness and improve the quality of services, but it involves sorting out the rules for financing public transportation. One of the most important topics is accounting for compensation and overcompensation in PSC contracts.

More than PLN 1.4 billion in support is to be given to the project entitled “Prace na linii kolejowej nr 7 Warszawa Wschodnia Osobowa – Dorohusk na odcinku Warszawa – Otwock – Dęblin – Lublin, etap II b (Warszawa Wawer – Otwock)”. The funds come from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment 2021 – 2027 (FEnIKS) program.

Over PLN 442 million from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment 2021–2027 (FEnIKS) programme will support the development of a modern ERTMS/ETCS system in six voivodships. We have concluded a financing agreement with PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. on the last day of 2025.

The article, authored by the staff of the Center for EU Transport Projects, was published in the prestigious monograph “Transport Systems in the Era of Automation and Digitalization,” published by the Department of Transport at Warsaw University of Technology.

The European Funds for Eastern Poland Programme for 2021–2027 (EFEP) is supposed to have two new priorities, i.e. support for military and civilian railway infrastructure and housing. These are changes assumed in the government draft resolution, approved by the Council of Ministers at the end of the year.

Project no. FEPW.04.02‑IP.02‑0002/25 titled “Prace na linii kolejowej nr 8 na odcinku Skarżysko‑Kamienna – Kielce – Kozłów, etap I: odcinek Skarżysko‑Kamienna – Tumlin” (“Works on railway line no. 8 on the Skarżysko-Kamienna – Kielce – Kozłów section, stage 1: Skarżysko-Kamienna – Tumlin section”) has been selected for funding under the European Funds for Eastern Poland (EFEP) programme.

Polskie Koleje Państwowe has completed the renovation of the train station in Skierniewice. The investment has received support from the European Funds via CEUTP. The renovated building is comfortable and meets all current passenger service standards, including when it comes to people with special needs.

On 15 December 2023, Poland launched the largest investment project in its history – the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). That moment initiated a change, which can be observed in every region – a change for transport, residents, economy and safety.

The city of Bytom enters a new era of mobility, thanks to the support of the European Funds and the Centre for EU Transport Projects. An agreement for funding for the project titled “Mobilna Metropolia – Budowa Centrów Przesiadkowych na terenie gminy Bytom” (Mobile Metropolis – Construction of Transfer Centres within the Bytom Municipality) was signed in Warsaw.

In December, trains will be coming back to the Giżycko – Korsze route. As a result of the investment of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A., co-financed from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment (FEnIKS), residents and tourists will enjoy faster, safer and more eco-friendly travels.
