FinöV
The federal resolution on the construction and financing of public transport infrastructure projects ( BRG 96.059), or FinöV for short , is a resolution of the Swiss Federal Assembly on the comprehensive modernization and expansion of the rail infrastructure . In an obligatory referendum on November 29, 1998, the voters approved the federal resolution.
The resolution provides for the implementation of several major projects for around 30.5 billion Swiss francs (as of 1995) over the next 20 years:
- the first and second leg of the 2000 railway with the new Mattstetten – Rothrist line as the core
- the New Railway-Alpine Transversal (NEAT) with a new base tunnel through Gotthard , Lötschberg , Ceneri and Zimmerberg
- the connections of Eastern and Western Switzerland to the European high-speed traffic network (also known as the high-speed rail connection ) and
- the noise abatement of the railways
The CHF 30.5 billion is to be financed from a fund. This should be fed by two thirds of the income from the performance-related heavy vehicle fee HVF , revenues from VAT , which was limited for this purpose increased by 0.1 percentage points by 2030, and mineral oil as well as loans of Federal on the capital market . According to the supplementary message FinöV II of September 8, 2004 , however, financing through loans should cease to exist and all existing loans should be repaid.
Differentiation from the Alpine Transit Decision
The NEAT had already been approved in principle by the voters in the referendum of September 27, 1992 . With the FinöV submission in 1998, however, the NEAT project was redimensioned and its financing was reorganized.
