Learn About the Pro Trilhos Program

The Railway Authorization Program, Pro Trilhos, was developed through MP 1.065/21, which initiates the grant by authorization for the sector, allowing the initiative in the railway market to be free.

Thus, the private sector can develop and manage railways, yards, rail terminals, and branches. The program aims to expand the attractiveness of the private sector for making investments in the sector, whether greenfields or brownfields. Therefore, there is the freedom for logistics operators and industrial transporters to request railway authorization to build and operate.

So far, Minfra has received 36 railway authorization requests with investments of R$ 115 billion and 7,780 new km. The estimate is that more than 2 million new jobs will be created, in addition to reductions in CO2 emissions, transportation costs, and the modernization of the Brazilian railway network.
