Italy Confirms 1.5% Motorway Toll Increase From January 1, 2026

A Constitutional Court ruling restored the contract-based mechanism that lets the transport regulator set inflation-linked tariffs.

Overview

  • The Infrastructure and Transport Ministry released concession-by-concession updates confirming a general 1.5% rise tied to programmed 2026 inflation, effective from 1 January.
  • The transport regulator ART set the 1.5% adjustment under tariff rules connected to ongoing revisions of concession Piani Economico-Finanziari.
  • Notable variations include Salerno–Pompei–Napoli at +1.925% and Autostrada del Brennero at +1.46%, while no changes are scheduled for Concessioni del Tirreno (A10/A12), IvreaTorinoPiacenza (A5/A21) and Strada dei Parchi.
  • The ministry stated it cannot override the court decision and ART’s determinations, as opposition figures accuse Minister Matteo Salvini and the government of responsibility for the increases.
  • Reports note long-running administrative disputes over tariff updates, pointing to further legal friction as concession agreements and financial plans are finalized.
