Title: Shifting Freight Transport through the Alps from Road to Rail
Abstract: The paper describes the Swiss transport policy and the main popular decisions (votes) as well as the practical results of current and future decisions. In Switzerland exists a specific policy concerning freight transport on roads between north and south Europe through the Alps based on decided (existing and planned) infrastructures. This freight transport policy constitutes an important barrier for transportation routes in a sensitive region, sensitive mainly in terms of the ecology of the Alps. This paper gives a short overview of the transport policy in a European country not member of the EU but in the middle of Europe and far away from the Baltic region.
