CEF Transport 2024 Calls for €2.5 billion

CEF Transport Call 2024

CINEA launched the 2024 calls for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for Transport, making €2.5 billion available to build and modernise transport infrastructure in the EU and the CEF-associated countries of Ukraine and Moldova.

The projects to be funded will contribute to extending and modernising the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) and leading to more sustainable, smart, interoperable, and resilient mobility across the TEN-T. In this way, CEF Transport will continue contributing to the EU’s objective of becoming climate-neutral by 2050, as set out in the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy.

The 2024 CEF Transport calls cover the core, extended core and comprehensive TEN-T network, pursuant to the new TEN-T Regulation (Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1679), in the following areas:

  • railways
  • inland waterways
  • maritime and inland ports
  • road safety
  • multimodal freight terminals
  • multimodal passenger hubs
  • smart and interoperable applications for transport
  • safe and secure mobility
