The scope of the project will include the following tasks: — Feasibility study – Project management – Purchase of rolling stock – Promotion of the project Purchase of modern rolling stock will help to solve the following problems: — low quality and attractiveness of services provided in public rail collective transport in Lubelskie voivodship and the associated reduced transport accessibility of the voivodship; — decrease in the number of passengers using regional rail transport in the voivodship; — the increase in environmental damage resulting from increased use of individual transport; — the existence of barriers to travel of people with reduced mobility.
