Initiative summary:
Rail freight traffic is the second most dominant source of noise in Europe with 19 million persons exposed to health threatening noise levels. At present the most effective way to mitigate rail noise is by retrofitting the existing freight wagons with composite brake blocks. To support retrofitting Commission adopted a regulation providing a framework for establishing noise differentiated track access charges schemes. According to this regulation, the existing schemes shall be assessed in 2018.
