Beyond Best Practices Briefing - Closing the transportation

This brief lays out the state of Romania’s transport sector, with a focus on existing policies and the drivers of the country’s emissions. [...] Nevertheless, the NECP’s headline target is to increase the share of renewables in the transport sector to 14.2%. [...] Recovery and Resilience Plan (2021-2026): This plan was required under the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, and consists of major infrastructure investments expected to create 90,000 jobs.2 EUR 3.9 billion is to be directed to modernising and electrifying the railway system, while EUR 1.8 billion will improve transport infrastructure in urban areas. [...] LEZs reduce congestion and emissions, take a burden off the health sector, and support greater public transport use and EV adoption, making them a cheap way for Romania to achieve a range of health and environmental targets.
