CUPT as an Intermediate Body in the Infrastructure and Environment Programme
In the years 2014-2020, the CEUTP (acting as an Intermediate Body) is responsible for the implementation of the OPI&E in the field of transport projects . Having gained experience from the implementation of the OPI&E in the previous programming period (2007-2013), the CEUTP fully supports the Beneficiaries in the process of preparation and implementation of investment projects in order to make the most effective use of EU funds allocated for spending under the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020.

Breakdown of investments
The investments under OPI&E 2014-2020 have been divided into four branches:
- railroad – investments of national importance and 11 investments of macroregional importance under the Operational Programme Eastern Poland 2014-2020
- 42 road investments
- 48 maritime investments
