The Austrian federal government and the state of Tyrol have reached an agreement to transfer the responsibility for maintaining ÖBB train stations in Tyrol. Starting January 1, 2027, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG will assume the upkeep of infrastructure at these stations.

This pact is designed to provide financial relief to Tyrolean municipalities that host ÖBB train stops. The agreement specifically covers stations that were put into operation before 2025 and are equipped with facilities such as restrooms or elevators. Previously, these municipalities were responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of these station facilities.

As part of the deal, the state of Tyrol will make a one-time payment of 1.36 million euros to ÖBB. This financial contribution is intended to support the transition and ensure the continued maintenance of the station infrastructure.
