In December 2024, the Sixth Committee of the Senate of the Republic<\/strong> approved in its first debate Bill No. 232 of 2024<\/strong>, which defines and establishes the conditions for the development of national railway infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to regulate activities related to the provision of public railway transport services for cargo and passengers across the national network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it seeks to establish conditions for infrastructure development, institutional organization, economic regulation, and mechanisms for management and financing. It also proposes guidelines to promote intermodality, interoperability, and complementarity in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approval of this law represents a strategic move to reactivate and modernize the country\u2019s railway network, which currently operates at 31% of its capacity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colombia’s railway network spans 3,533 km<\/strong>, with 1,610 km<\/strong> managed by the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI)<\/strong>, 1,734 km<\/strong> by the National Roads Institute (Inv\u00edas)<\/strong>, and 189 km<\/strong> by private sectors. The goal is to enhance connectivity between production centers, ports, and consumption regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the Minister of Transport, Mar\u00eda Constanza Garc\u00eda Alicastro<\/strong>, celebrated this legislative milestone, emphasizing that the law will promote railway transport as an economic driver, integrating regions, creating jobs, and reducing logistical costs for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the reactivation of railway transport is also expected to lower logistical costs for companies by 25%<\/strong> and travel times by 23.5%<\/strong>, according to recent reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
