The European Commission has officially approved the Transport Programme 2021-20278/7/2022|Press releasesOn 8 July 2022, the Transport Programme 2021-2027 (OPD3) was officially approved by the European Commission. This paves the way for the Czech Republic to draw approximately EUR 4.9 billion to be spent primarily on the development of the road and rail network, but also on support of rail transport in cities, the construction of alternative fuel infrastructure and other interventions moving the transport system towards greater sustainability. The approval of OPD3 is a very important signal that the financing of the ambitious objectives set by the Czech Republic in the field of transport will be at least partly covered from subsidies from the Transport programme. The funding of OPD3 projects will be provided mainly through the Cohesion Fund and also the European Regional Development Fund. The approval of OPD3 completes several years of preparation and negotiations and all key actors will now be able to fully focus on the actual implementation.
