TTJA acts as Estonia’s Independent Charging Body in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 2012/34/EU.

TTJA ensures that the charging process is transparent, cost-reflective and non-discriminatory, thereby contributing directly to the objectives of the Single European Railway Area. TTJA is already an active member of the PRIME Charges Subgroup. During PRIME activities, members were encouraged to apply for participation in SERAF, and TTJA welcomes this opportunity to contribute its experience at a broader policy level. We would like to nominate Ms Ingrid Jakobson, Analyst at TTJA, as our representative in this SERAF sub-group. Ms Jakobson is responsible for the calculation of access charges, the analysis of cost and performance data submitted by the infrastructure manager, the preparation of charging decisions, and communication with railway undertakings and other stakeholders.
