This is reflected in the ERA\u2019s Vision.<\/p>\n<p>The ERA wants to show that rail is part of a more global transport system. The Vision is that rail will be fully incorporated in our transport and mobility patterns thanks to its high environmental performance: high energy efficiency and low externalities, hence the word \u201csustainable\u201d, and keeping a high level of safety performance, hence the word \u201csafe\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Moving from a patchwork to a network also requires to focus on the \u201cwithout frontiers\u201d as we are contributing to establish a European network of transport taking advantage of all the inherent qualities of the different modes of transport.<\/p>\n<h3>The mission of the European Agency for Railways<\/h3>\n<p>The Mission Statement is more railway focused as this is our business field. However, we apply the same principles as for the Vision with the key terms of\u00a0sustainability\u00a0and\u00a0safety. Interoperability is not forgotten in this Mission Statement as the term \u201cwithout frontiers\u201d emphasises the key role of interoperability to reach the objective of a Single European railway area.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the terms \u201cmoving Europe\u201d indicates that the Agency is a driving the work to make sure that the railway system remains a very safe mode of transport and breaks the barriers to build a truly European network resulting in an increase of the rail modal share in the transport and mobility system. Reaching these goals will help our society to reach the ambition of a carbon neutral transport system by mid-century.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The role of the European Agency for Railways To promote a harmonised approach to railway safety.
