According to a press release, the CFL has expanded its national park-and-ride (P+R) infrastructure with the inauguration of two upgraded sites: a new multi-storey P+R at Troisvierges station with 388 spaces, and a renovated open-air P+R at Colmar-Berg offering 237 spaces. This brings the total number of P+R spaces operated by the CFL to nearly 9,000 across the rail network.
The official launch took place on 23 July 2025 in the presence of Mobility and Public Works Minister Yuriko Backes, CFL Director General Marc Wengler, and CFL Infrastructure Director Marc Hoffmann. Backes emphasised the government’s commitment to strengthening intermodal mobility by combining car use with rail travel, positioning the train as the backbone of national transport. Wengler highlighted the role of high-quality infrastructure in encouraging commuters to shift towards smarter, more sustainable mobility choices.
At Troisvierges, the new facility more than doubles the previous capacity and includes five spaces for the car-sharing service FLEX, six electric vehicle charging stations, and nine spaces for people with reduced mobility. Hoffmann explained that the structure was carefully planned to balance aesthetics with functionality, and to serve as an architectural benchmark for future P+R projects. The site also includes dynamic parking guidance systems and colour-coded levels to simplify navigation.
Both the Troisvierges and Colmar-Berg sites incorporate green roofs and photovoltaic panels, with the Troisvierges system generating up to 142 kWp of solar energy for near self-sufficiency. The Colmar-Berg site includes accessible parking, two Chargy EV stations, traditional and secure bike parking, and facilities for two-wheelers. Adjacent bus terminals have also been upgraded, with new infrastructure for driver comfort.
The projects reflect a wider national mobility strategy to improve connectivity while supporting environmental goals and easing access to sustainable transport.
