Catalonia Approves €4.3bn Ten-Year Mobility Plan

The programme is designed to reverse a reported €4.7bn investment shortfall and provide the planning prerequisite to start tenders and award works.

Overview

  • The Generalitat formally approved the Programme of Commissioned Actions (PEA) on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, setting a ten‑year investment framework for mobility infrastructure across Catalonia.
  • The PEA allocates about €4.3–4.35 billion for 2026–2036 with a front‑loaded envelope of €1.6 billion for 2026–2029 (roughly €400 million per year) and plans for higher annual spending of about €600 million from 2030.
  • The government published a detailed project list with assigned budgets that include road safety (€785m), 2+1 roads (€523m), metro and bus improvements (€510m), the L8 extension (€489m), the Olot variant (€494m) and the Camp de Tarragona tram (€239m).
  • The PEA excludes major rail and metro works that fall under State competence and long‑term public–private projects, and the Generalitat says those schemes will be handled through other programmes or the central government.
  • The Departament de Territori plans to mobilize an additional €1.13 billion via management commissions and concessions, and has tasked Infraestructures.cat with licensing and managing procurements so projects can move from planning to tendering and construction, a process that will require municipal agreements and environmental approvals.
