“The Southern Coastal Railway will be a great tool for the development of ES”, said the governor of ES, Renato Casagrande.
According to the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, “this is the consolidation of an innovative solution to build railways in Brazil without the use of public resources. Cross-investment, using the grants from rail concessions, is one of the main strategies of the Federal Government to double the participation of this mode in the national transport matrix. We are showing that budget restrictions will not be an impediment to developing the infrastructure of the country.”
The EFC and EFVM railways are considered the safest in Brazil and leaders in environmental performance, according to an assessment carried out by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT).
