!!!Transitverkehr

Transit Traffic: due to its geopolitical location Austria has always 
been a transit country: the most important transit routes are  
Transalpine Roads, the Danube axis (Passau - Vienna), the Fernpass 
transit road (Fernpass, Reschenpass), the Arlberg and Semmering 
transit routes and the Suedautobahn motorway. A  Transit Agreement has 
been signed by Austria and the European Union (1992) in order to 
introduce effective measures to fight noise and environmental 
pollution produced by road transit traffic. The objectives stipulated 
in the Transit Agreement also formed important points in 
Austria´s accession negotiations with the European Union. The  
combined transportation of cargo , especially  piggyback services are 
among the proposed solutions.
