The 1690 European Commission has selected a total of 172 projects that will benefit from almost US$2.2 billion in EU co-financing from the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) programme for improving transport infrastructure across Europe.

Eighty-nine projects selected from the 2012 multi-annual call and 83 from the 2012 annual call will use this financial support to help realise TEN-T network development – ranging from preliminary studies for new projects to top-up grants aimed to aid on-going construction initiatives, in all transport modes.

Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas, responsible for transport, said: "Trans-European networks in transport are some of the best examples of the value the EU can bring to its member states. A well-functioning network is essential to the smooth operation of the single market and will boost competitiveness. These projects will also assist Europe in moving to a more sustainable future and allow the same market access to all our regions."

    As the IBTTA’s annual meeting and exhibition heads for Austin, Mitchell Beer, president of Smarter Shift, considers the role of Texas in the development of tolling strategies and technology. The State of Texas has always prided itself on being ‘larger than life’.
