To improve non-polluting regional transport and contribute to regional development and improving the quality of life.
Environmental aspects
Procurement
The purchase of new rolling stock to replace old equipment will help to make rail transport more attractive than road transport. This will result in a reduction in the number of journeys undertaken by private car and limit the harmful effects associated with this mode of transport (local atmospheric pollution and noise).
The Région Rhône-Alpes is an organisation subject to EU procurement directives. All works contracts for projects financed by the Bank will be issued in accordance with the provisions of EU law.
