Public transport through the Territorial Public Accounts

This work has as its main objective the issue of public transport in Italy by analyzing the data through the territorial public accounts. Having ascertained the availability of the data produced by the Nucleus of Territorial Public Accounts, which often arrive at even municipal detail, an attempt is made to analyze the transport sector by evaluating public expenditure through the balance sheet data of public companies and investee companies. The organizational scheme of the territorial public accounts is implemented through a network system, which provides at its center a "Central Technical Unit" structured within the Agency for territorial cohesion and around it has 21 nuclei that have been formed in each region and autonomous province. The CPTs also dealt with from the point of view of the structure trying to understand how they are proposed to us, that is they are divided into databases with certain time frames and are separated according to the various entities, based on the incomes and expenses incurred in the transport sector. In 2019 it was observed that transport is more widespread in the North where we have 2.98 seats per passenger per square kilometer per inhabitant, in the Center the value begins to drop to 2.06 and then reaches the South to have a value equal to 1,7. In the following work, a distinction was also made between the various infrastructural categories, that is, between the road network, the railway network, ports and airports. A focus was deepened on the viability of the Calabria region, underlining a series of disadvantageous aspects for the transport system, despite a population of 1,952,238 inhabitants, equal to 3.3% of the entire Italian population and a territory of 15,081 kilometers. squares, equal to 5% of the Italian territory. Another element we have extensively talked about and analyzed, which is certainly not to be overlooked, is the difficult situation in which we find ourselves caused by the health emergency, in fact the effectiveness of the transport demand on the entry of traffic was evident with the arrival of Covid-19 since with the decrease of the population to move by public transport, the sector obviously suffered economically as there was no revenue. It will therefore be required to intervene on the territory with targeted projects and at least adequate for the restoration of structural situations worn out by the years that require urgent and no longer postponable intervention
