2024 Connecting Europe Facility - Transport call for proposals makes available €2.5 billion to boost resilience and safety across the EU’s transport network

Today, the Commission opened the 2024 Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) - Transport call for proposals, making available €2.5 billion for projects to modernise the transport infrastructure on the EU’s trans-European transport network (TEN-T), as well as in Ukraine and Moldova. Selected projects will work towards creating sustainable and smart transport infrastructure, fostering interoperability and resilience within the network while seamlessly integrating various transport modes.

They will also bolster the competitiveness of the internal market for both passengers and freight, for higher quality of life and lower emissions.

The call also covers projects improving the safety across the EU’s transport network as well as its resilience against natural disasters. 

Commissioner for Climate Action, responsible for transport, Wopke Hoekstra, said: “The massive floods that hit Europe over the last days provided a painful reminder of the need for our society to adapt to and increase its resilience to climate change. Under the Connecting Europe Facility we launched today a new call for an amount of 2.5 billion euros. We expect to support financially projects that will not only increase connectivity in Europe and with our neighbours, but which could also increase our infrastructure resilience to natural disasters and make it fit for handling climate risks.”

The closing date for applications is 21 January 2025.
