COMPONENT 4: SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT This component of the recovery and resilience plan addresses several challenges related to sustainable transport to promote smart, safe and inclusive mobility in Romania. It should be seen in connection with the component 10 “Local Fund” which includes complementary measures for sustainability mobility in urban areas. The objective of this component is to enhance the sustainability of Romanian transport sector by supporting its green and digital transition. The reforms supporting the investments include regulatory changes to incentivise zero-emission road transport, improve the governance of state- owned enterprises in transport sectors, improve road safety, promote clean public transport, promote modal shift to railways and inland waterways. The reforms and investments shall contribute to addressing the country-specific recommendations conveyed to Romania in 2019 and 2020, on the need to: (i) “front-load mature public investment projects and promote private investment to foster the economic recovery” and “focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on sustainable transport” (country-specific recommendation 3, 2020) while “taking into account regional disparities” (country-specific recommendation 4, 2019); (ii) “improve preparation and prioritisation of large projects and accelerate their implementation (country-specific recommendation 4, 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). Investments in road infrastructure are focused on TEN-T core network, contribute to economic and social cohesion and are accompanied by significant reforms to decarbonise the road transport, develop alternative fuels infrastructure, improve road safety and promote clean public transport and modal shift. D.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support Reform 1. Sustainable transport, decarbonisation and road safety The objective of the measure is to support the transition towards sustainable and smart mobility by reforming the transport system in Romania. The reform consists in: • Entry into force of the legal acts for the implementation of a new distance-based charging system for heavy duty vehicles (trucks) linked to air pollution, and higher ownership taxes for most polluting passenger vehicles, • Entry into force of legal act(s) to boost the use of clean vehicles and fleet renewal programmes, • Adoption of the National Road Safety Strategy, • Entry into force of the road safety legal act(s) on monitoring, enforcement and sanctions on road safety offences, • Adoption of the strategy for the development of railway infrastructure 2021-2025 and application of the action plan. 14452/25 ADD 1 37 ECOFIN 1A EN Investment 3.a. Increasing the sustainability of road infrastructure on TEN-T network, road charging, traffic management and road safety The objective of this investment is to increase the quality and efficiency of road infrastructure. The investment consists of delivering new motorways sections and ITS systems. The measure is complemented by investment 3. Increasing the sustainability of road infrastructure on TEN-T network, road charging, traffic management and road safety. 14452/25 ADD 1 38 ECOFIN 1A EN 14452/25 ADD 1 39 ECOFIN 1A EN  D.2.
