The Lombardy regional councilor for Transport and Sustainable Mobility explained that the main objective is to enhance the railway connections between Lombardy and South Tyrol in preparation for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. The collaboration will also bring benefits in terms of sustainable mobility, identifying common routes to promote intermodality and the development of projects for the management of railway infrastructure. In addition, policies will be implemented for the development and integration of regional and local public transport.
