The Programme starts from a detailed analysis of mobility and traffic on Pantelleria Island (Sicily, Italy) in the critical period of summer, when a very large number of tourists is present on the island. The proposals that have been worked out, are aimed at improving mobility and its environmental compatibility, allowing at the same time a short realisation period and taking into account the various environmental, orographic and infrastructural conditions. At this purpose, the work has been divided into two stages: a first, short-term phase, and a second, medium-term one.
Short-term:
- To control the summer emergency on Pantelleria, limiting the access to private vehicles.
- To diminish the use of private cars adopting a ticket system for accessing the major touristic areas on the island and for paying car parks.
- To offer a first alternative to the use of privat cars, through the qualification and the improvement of the public transport system, in particular in the summer.
- To improve road network and traffic regulations, in order to facilitate public transport.
- To qualify the offer of cars for hire on the island, improving the fleet of cars and the distribution of renting places, and also renting numerous electrical motorcycles.
Medium-term:
- Adoption of an entrance ticket for vehicles of non-residents.
- Intensify, in cooperation with the car rentals and the touristic operators of the island (hotelkeepers, etc.), specific and personalized services of collective transport directly managed by car rentals.
