The ITF has a vision for Safe and Sustainable Railways for All.

• Safety - Railways that are properly staffed are safer, whether that’s at the station, on the train, or in other essential areas like maintenance and repairs. 
• Accessibility - Railways that are properly staffed are not only safer but are also more accessible for those with mobility issues, including older people and people with disabilities. 
• Sustainability - Train travel is one of the most environmentally efficient modes of transport. Investment in rail infrastructure including trains that use clean energy is essential for tackling climate change. Rail workers must have a say in the introduction of new technology and be protected through a just transition. 
• Public Ownership - Railways should be publicly owned and accountable. The primary interest of private operators is profit, not the social good.
