A delegation from Luxembourg trades union LCGB met François Bausch, Minister for Sustainable Development and Infrastructure, for discussions on cross-border mobility between the Grand Duchy and Belgium with a view to improving the current situation. 

In relation to the shutdown of rail traffic between Arlon and Luxembourg for two weeks at Easter and from mid-July to mid-September 2018 so that the CFL can equip the line on the Grand-Ducal side, Minister Bausch confirmed that it would not be possible to find an alternative to a total break as suggested by the LCGB (eg single tracking during construction). 

It is expected that a bus service will be set up from the Arlon train station.

Regarding Viville's P & R, the LCGB pointed out that the setbacks continue to accumulate with additional infrastructure costs, long-term work on this section, lack of rolling stock, etc. Minister Bausch confirmed that this was a priority and that there was a real political will to concretise this very important project for Belgian cross-border workers. 

However, it was said that the P & R will not open before 2020 and will begin, in a first phase, with the provision of 150 seats and then to 750 seats.

On 12 May 2017, the Belgian Minister for Mobility, François Bellot, announced free parking along the Namur-Arlon railway line for cross-border commuters with a subscription. For the LCGB, this measure, which will come into effect as of December 2017, will be positive for current subscribers but will not necessarily attract new train users as spaces are already over-subscribed. Thus the LCGB insisted on the realisation of new attractive projects and offering new possibilities to potential users.

Minister François Bellot also announced the December 2017 reduction of the monthly cross-border subscriptions of €13.50 (€93.50 to €80.00 for Arlon - Luxembourg and €77.50 to €64.00 For Aubange - Luxembourg). The LCGB welcomed this approach, but called for the long-awaited tariff reduction to be extended beyond the border stations and that efforts are also being made on the annual subscription "Flex-pass".

To reduce the traffic jams between the two countries, a project to reserve a route to carpooling on the Arlon motorway in Luxembourg is under consideration. In July 2016, federal Minister of Mobility François Bellot reviewed the Highway Traffic Act for the use of the emergency stop-band, enabling carpooling on the same at peak hours by a modification of road markings and the placement of a specific signage. On the Luxembourg side, the Bridges and Roads departments are also studying the issue via a feasibility study. 

The LCGB supports the idea of ​​creating a "hub" for cross-border teleworkers. The aim would be to give frontier workers the opportunity to avoid "tele-working" closures from a place close to the border (but on the Luxembourg side in order to avoid tax and social difficulties which always Teleworking of frontier workers). The "hub" could also be more attractive if it were decorated with many parking spaces, some of which were reserved for car-pooling. The LCGB believes that this concept is part of the logic of more efficient and sustainable mobility between Belgium and the Grand Duchy.
