Goals / Remit
The main aim of the Allianz pro Schiene e.V. (Pro-Rail Alliance) is to increase the market share of the railways, both for passenger transport and freight transport.
The Pro-Rail Alliance's medium term target (by 2020) is to reach a market share of at least 15 percent for rail passenger transport and at least 25 percent for rail freight. The basis for calculating market share in both cases is transport performance (passengers/tonnes multiplied by kilometres).
The organisation's other goals closely follow its main aim, namely:
1. Improving the image of the railways in politics and in public
2. Securing and increasing public funding of the railways (investment in infrastructure, funding of the regional railways)
3. Creating a fair competitive environment to enable the railways to compete with other modes of transport (fair tax rules, exposing the truth about the real cost of transport)
4. Maintaining and increasing the railway's superior environmental record
5. Maintaining and increasing the railway's superior safety recordMain EU files targeted

Other financial info
In the financial year 2010 two projects were supported by the European Commission:
The project ‘Efficient Semi-Trailer Transport on Rail Baltica’ (ESTRaB) is supporting the market introduction of the CargoBeamer, a new technology for handling freight transport. The CargoBeamer can load so-called semi-trailers onto trains, which would make around 60% of all HGV journey redundant. The European Commission is supporting the project with funds from the Marco Polo II programme because it has seen an opportunity to make transit transport, particularly to Eastern Europe, more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The project ECORailS addresses the improvement of energy efficiency and the further reduction of the environmental impact of railways. The target groups are regional Public Transport Administrations (PTAs) which play a key role today when it comes to improving the quality and environmental performance of passenger rail transport. ECORailS provides Guidelines for the PTAs in order to successfully include environmental criteria in their awarding procedures. The ECORailS project aims to reduce the specific energy consumption of European regional passenger rail transport by 15 % by 2020.
