CORCAP - Capitalising TEN-T Corridors for Regional Development and Logistics

Transnational corridor capitalisation strategy

The TEN-T corridor Orient/East-Med connects Northern, Central and South-Eastern Europe. A crucial bottleneck is the Dresden-Prague section, which needs to be extended by a new railway line to improve the connectivity between Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. To capitalise the opportunities of the infrastructure investment for multimodal environmentally friendly freight transport, the Free State of Saxony joined forces with partners from Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Improving coordination among stakeholders in the field of transport and spatial planning, CORCAP contributed to the creation of an enviroment for more efficient rail freight transport in Central Europe.

Findings and lessons learnt have been summarised in the Transnational corridor capitalisation strategy, which provides a comprehensive overview about project activities and results achieved.

CORRIDOR CAPITALISATION PLANS

To facilitate the interaction of regional development and transport infrastructure development, the partners have developed Corridor Capitalisation Plans. These plans have a planning horizon corresponding to the perspective of realisation of the new railway line Dresden-Prague. They demonstrate how an intensively used corridor affects regional development and logistics, and which contributions made on regional level will strengthen the corridor and its functionality.

As informal instrument, Corridor Capitalisation Plans address existing planning levels and instruments in the field of transport and logistics, regional development and spatial planning on local, regional, national and transnational level, thus contributing to multi-level governance.

PILOT ACTIONS

To demonstrate the short-term benefits of better accessibility and connectivity and to underline the added value of the strategic infrastructure investment, the partners have implemented multimodal freight transport pilot actions. These were aimed at the improvement of the accessibility and connectivity of intermodal hubs and inland ports, the investigation of the feasibility of new intermodal services considering innovative technical and organisational solutions and the investigation of attractive multimodal logistics locations.
