• Funding application

Applications for funding can be submitted electronically to the L-Bank Baden-Württemberg as the authorising body all year round using the application form. The application for funding also constitutes registration for the state programme. The details, in particular regarding the funding procedure, can be found in the Guideline on Rail Vehicle Funding and additionally in the Administrative Regulation on the Implementation of the LGVFG (VwV-LGVFG). Advice on the funding modalities prior to and during the funding procedure is provided by the L-Bank.

• Inclusion in the state programme
  The Ministry of Transport decides on the inclusion of the (overall) project in the state programme.
  
• Provisional approval
  Once the (overall) project has been successfully included in the programme, L-Bank will send the provisional approval notice to you as a company. The notification confirms that the project is generally eligible for funding and sets the provisional amount of funding. As soon as the provisional approval notice has been issued, you can start the project.
  • Please note: The provisional approval notice is limited to a period of two years.
• Final approval
  Once you have submitted the results of your bids, L-Bank will send you the final approval notice. The notification will specify the exact amount of funding. It is not possible to receive additional funding after this.
• Payment
  Once you have submitted the invoices for the rail vehicles, you can claim the grant. You apply for payment of the grant directly to L-Bank. You will receive the form for this together with the final approval notice.
