Italy’s integrated public transport push requires over €1 billion more to meet PNRR targets
Executive summary: The Politecnico di Milano, commissioned by Anav, found that Italy’s current transport investments total €37.7 billion but are insufficient to meet the PNRR‑defined targets for an integrated bus, parking and autostation network, indicating a shortfall of more than €1 billion. Closing this funding gap is essential for Italy to achieve its sustainable mobility objectives, affect urban congestion, and fully absorb the allocated EU recovery money. Politecnico di Milano (researcher), Anav (association that commissioned the study), Italian government entities overseeing PNRR funds, and potential contractors for bus, parking and autostation projects. Government agencies may launch additional tender rounds or re‑allocate PNRR resources to address the shortfall, while stakeholders monitor compliance with EU milestones.
A study by the Politecnico di Milano for Anav reports that, despite €37.7 billion already invested in transport under the PNRR, Italy remains far from its integrated public‑transport goals and would need an additional sum exceeding one billion euros to close the gap. The figure highlights the scale of financing still required for buses, parking facilities and intermodal stations. It underscores the ongoing challenge of translating EU recovery funds into operational mobility infrastructure.
