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."

According to the Federation of European Motorcyclists' Associations (FEMA), the European Commission's (EC's) ambitions for eCall implementation are premature and fail to take account of all road users' needs or of technological progress elsewhere.

    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation. The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.
