On 8 July 2022, the Transport Programme 2021-2027 (OPD3) was officially approved by the European Commission. This paves the way for the Czech Republic to draw approximately EUR 4.9 billion to be spent primarily on the development of the road and rail network, but also on support of rail transport in cities, the construction of alternative fuel infrastructure and other interventions moving the transport system towards greater sustainability.
The European Commission (EC) today approved the Operational Transport Program for the period 2014 - 2020. It will allow the Czech Republic to draw on EU funds up to 4.7 billion euros (about 125 billion crowns) on the development of road and rail infrastructures. Upon this step, the Ministry of Transport has successfully completed the intensive negotiations with the European Commission on the program form. We practically managed to enforce it in those parameters the Ministry submitted to the European Commission.
