Development of Rapid Mass Transport systems (metro, streetcar, BRT) (Mission 2 – Component 2: Investment 4.2)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the increase of rapid mass transport system ridership, favouring a modal shift from car transport to public transport. 

This investment consists in:

• The construction of new lines and extension of existing lines of rapid mass transport systems for at least 231 km. The list of projects includes at least 96 km of metro lanes or tramway, and at least 135 km of trolleybus or cableway.
• The upgrade of the infrastructure of rapid mass transport systems, including their digitalisation. These interventions include the upgrade of metro stations and of metro track infrastructure, signalling systems for railway or tramway, public transit depots.
• The purchase of zero-emission rolling stock for rapid mass transport systems.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 3.4 billion.
