Abstract

Railroad is considered as an eco-friendly transportation mode because it emits lower greenhouse gases and air pollutants and consumes less energy compared to trucking. To promote rail freight, many countries have implemented various policies, while South Korea has implemented few substantial policies. This study aims to compare and analyze rail freight policies of various countries in order to suggest policy implications to South Korea. We analyze relevant policies of 9 countries; these are classified into 5 categories, and we provide policy implications for facilitating rail freight infrastructure and equipments, grants for the transportation cost using freight rail, and road freight restriction policy.

철도는 도로대비 에너지 소비량 및 온실가스, 오염물질 배출량이 낮은 친환경 수송수단이다. 철도화물의 활성화를 통한 녹색운송시스템 구축을 위해 세계 각국은 다양한 지원정책을 펼치고 있다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우 실질적인 지원방안이 미미한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 다양한 국가들의 철도화물 지원을 위한 정책을 비교 분석하여 국내 관련정책 수립에 대한 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 영국, 스위스, 독일, 오스트리아, 프랑스, 헝가리, 일본, EU 및 한국을 대상으로 철도화물 활성화를 위한 정책을 5가지의 카테고리로 분류하여 비교분석을 수행하였으며 철도물류관련시설 지원방안, 철도화물수송비용에 대한 직접적 지원 및 도로화물수송에 대한 제한방안에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다.
