Tyrol transit traffic management

Overview

Transit traffic in Tyrol has returned to pre-pandemic levels, with truck volumes accounting for three-quarters of the 52 million tons of freight passing through the Brenner Pass. This resurgence has led to criticism from the Transitforum regarding the Tyrol state government’s ‘Fernpass-Paket’. Critics argue the initiative fails to address traffic, noise, and environmental issues, and they have called for its suspension.

In response to traffic management needs, Austria has released a truck traffic ‘dosing’ schedule for the first quarter of 2027 for the route toward the Brenner Pass. The plan includes 11 days of traffic regulations on the A12 motorway near Kufstein Nord to prevent congestion in the Inntal corridor. Police will regulate German freight traffic during peak periods, specifically targeting high-intensity periods such as Monday mornings.
