InvestEU supports investment through financing backed by an EU budget guarantee. It is delivered by the EIB Group and other implementing partners.

Sustainable public transport investments may qualify under the Sustainable Infrastructure policy window. Support can take the form of loans, guarantees, equity and other financing structures, depending on the implementing partner and project.

The EU guarantee was increased to €29.1 billion through the December 2025 amendment. This guarantee enables financing partners to support investment; it is not a grant budget available directly to project applicants.

Public transport promoters should approach an implementing partner or relevant financial intermediary to assess project eligibility, financial viability and available products.

The InvestEU Advisory Hub provides support for project preparation and development. The InvestEU Portal can increase a project’s visibility to investors but does not itself award funding.

Combining InvestEU financing with EU or national grants may be possible where the relevant programme rules, financing conditions and State aid requirements permit.
