Region NorthEast
Every municipality, region and province in the Netherlands faces its own challenges when it comes to good accessibility. That is why NS works closely with regional authorities, other transport providers, businesses, educational institutions and consumer representatives in these regions. Together, we ensure cities and areas become better connected.
We are committed to a sustainably accessible Netherlands for everyone. This requires tailored solutions per region. The North East Regional Management takes on this responsibility for the provinces of Gelderland, Overijssel, Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland.
