Document Summary:

Federal Railway Authority (Eisenbahnbundesamt – EBA)

Document Details:

The Federal Railway Authority is the German supervisory, licensing and safety authority for railways and railway undertakings.

Over 2/3 of all railway undertakings in Germany are subject to supervision by the Federal Railway Authority. Some regional railways are supervised by the federal states, although in many cases the latter exercise the option of transferring this supervision to the Federal Railway Authority.

The numerous functions of the Federal Railway Authority include plan approval for facilities of the federal railways, the authorization of rolling stock and railway infrastructure, and the granting of funds that the Federal Government has made available in the rail transport sector. In addition, the Federal Railway Authority enforces passengers’ rights.
