  5. Heavy investment in railways Infrastructure and Transportation Plan (PEIT) 2005-2020 • New investment on HSR: €78,100 million $117.8 billion • 81,4% Public funds - 18,4% Private funds Financing novelties: first PPP project - Figueras-Perpignan • 40% of the population currently living within 30 miles of a hsr station; 90% of the population by 2020 6

  6. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS • Lower greenhouse gas emissions: Airplane: 70 kg./passenger HSR: 13 kg./passenger • Energy savings • 1/3 land use compared to highways SOCIAL BENEFITS • Economic development • Geographic accessibility • Social cohesion • Increased mobility • Modernization

  7. HOW IS IT ACCOMPLISHED?

  8. HSR is a system, the sum of many parts • Strong public works experience – world-class construction and engineering companies • -Robust rail manufacturing sector • -International hsr technology + national companies with proprietary technology for specific challenges • -Interoperability • -Infrastructure management • -Service operations redesigned and world-pioneer policies for custumer service

  9. OPERATIONS

  10. Fleet in 2010: 231 trains • Punctuality: over 99% on time – first in Europe RENFE Operadora • Profitable operations: no subsidies • Punctuality commitment - fare return if late
