3. WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN PASSENGERS’ FEDERATION?
founded 2002
the European umbrella organisation of national and regional passengers’ organisations
financed by its member organisations
representing passengers’ views at the European level
dealing with all modes of public transport such as local transport, railways, buses, aviation and maritime transport

4. Introduction
EPF is insisting on the role of railways in a European mobility policy for economical and ecological reasons from the passengers‘ point of view
There is a need of voluntary policy from European institutions and Member States promoting rail, while lots of Member States are closing lines or/and reducing services
There is a clear necessity of concrete measures favouring/encouraging modal shift towards rail
EPF is strongly disappointed after the publication of the EU communication on decarbonisation (modal shift not mentioned)
