Rail Incentive Scheme SACOME calls on the State Government to investigate the potential of a rail freight incentive scheme, as has been introduced in other Australian jurisdictions. SACOME calls for funding to be made available to an appropriate agency to undertake the necessary investigations as to how rail freight may benefit South Australian exporters and assist in meeting emissions reduction targets.
