WHY THE CONGESTION CHARGE?
Improving the life conditions of those who live, work, study and visit the city is the goal of the Congestion Charge - Area C. Its objectives are:

Decreasing road traffic in “Cerchia dei Bastioni” (city centre).
Improving public transport networks.
Raising funds for soft mobility infrastructures : cycle lanes, pedestrian zones, 30kph zones.
Improving the quality of life by reducing the number of accidents, uncontrolled parking, noise and air pollution.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Choosing public transport as opposed to private cars makes traffic more smooth-flowing which in turn increases public transport frequency. Decreasing the number of circulating cars will result in reduced polluting emissions.

The limited traffic area, Cerchia dei Bastioni, is the area with the best public transport system in Italy with its 15 bus routes (37, 43, 50, 54, 57, 58, 60, 61, 67, 70, 73, 74, 77, 84, 94) 11 street-car lines (1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24, 27) and 3 underground lines (M1, M2 e M3). This system will be further strengthened when Area C comes into effect.

CERCHIA DEI BASTIONI
Area C, which coincides with the limited traffic area Cerchia dei Bastioni, has 43 access points electronically monitored by surveillance cameras. 7 out of these 43 access points are limited to public transport vehicles.

The surveillance cameras detect the entering subject and transmit the data collected to a computer which recognizes the vehicles, their classification (residents, duty vehicles, free access ones) and the corresponding due charge.

The access to Area C does not allow the use of fast-track lanes.
