• The federal government is supporting the fifth generation of the Agglomeration Program with 1.68 billion Swiss francs.

1.68 Billion for 40 Agglomerations

The Agglom­er­a­tion Trans­porta­tion Pro­gram is enter­ing its fifth gen­er­a­tion. The fed­er­al gov­ern­ment is con­tribut­ing 1.68 bil­lion francs. Projects in 40 agglom­er­a­tions will ben­e­fit from this fund­ing. The fed­er­al gov­ern­ment is not the sole source of fund­ing; it sup­ple­ments funds from can­tons and munic­i­pal­i­ties.

The Largest Individual Projects

Some projects stand out. These include the Fran­ca Mag­nani Bridge in Zurich and the Olten sta­tion plaza. The Hasle bypass near Burgdorf is also receiv­ing fund­ing. In addi­tion, there is the Win­terthur­erstrasse under­pass in Uster and the com­pre­hen­sive trans­porta­tion project in Oensin­gen.

Projects in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino

French-speak­ing Switzer­land is also ben­e­fit­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly. The Grand-Sacon­nex trans­porta­tion hub is receiv­ing fed­er­al fund­ing. In addi­tion, the tram line is being extend­ed to St-Genis-Pouil­ly. In the Lau­sanne-Morges met­ro­pol­i­tan area, funds are being allo­cat­ed for elec­tric bus­es. In Tici­no, the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment is sup­port­ing the Gal­le­ria Mos­cia-Aca­pul­co.

Funding via the NAF

The funds come from the Nation­al Road and Agglom­er­a­tion Traf­fic Fund (NAF). This fund is 100 per­cent user-financed. Thus, it is pri­mar­i­ly road users who pay. The arti­cle on financ­ing explains how the NAF works.
