Special attention was given to often neglected small-scale projects, whose investment was up to €1 million. Building on an in-depth literature review, and supported by interviews with various regional cooperation structures and an experts’ workshop, the study analyses the current situation regarding the availability of financing tools for new technologies that enhanced transport infrastructure in cross-border regions. It also outlined sources of financial support that could meet investment needs and assesses technological challenges and trends in the field of Intelligent Transport Systems, with a focus on regional interoperability. The study ended with suggestions of policy options to facilitate and accelerate cross border transport infrastructure projects. |
