Expansion programmes

The expansion and development of the railway network is carried out step by step in the form of programmes managed by the FOT. The FOT also ensures the implementation of the long-term strategy.

The Federal Office of Transports is assigned the task of planning and overseeing the further expansion of the railway infrastructure, with projects such as the ZEB and the 2025 and 2035 infrastructure expansion programmes. A programme for reducing noise pollution along the railway tracks is also under way, besides other.
