Strengthening of the School Transport Service a Fiumicino
The Municipal Administration of Fiumicino is working to improve and strengthen the school and local transport service for students in the next academic year. With the aim of making the service more efficient, some changes have been made based on citizen reports collected over the last year. Thanks to the collaboration with Cotral, valid alternatives are offered during peak hours to facilitate student travel.
Changes and Increases in the Transport Service
One of the main improvements made concerns Line 5, which connects Fiumicino to Ostia. After the success of the previous year, with a significant increase in students heading to high schools through this service, the Administration has decided to guarantee the continuity of the service for the next academic year. This service not only helps students, but also acts as a strategic connection between the area, the railway stations and the metropolitan network. Furthermore, a green approach is promoted by offering discounts on transport season tickets to reduce costs for families based on the ISEE, with discounts of up to 50%.
Collaboration with Schools and Optimization of Timetables
Councilor Angelo Caroccia announced a strengthening of collaboration with school directors to coordinate entry and exit times from the schools. This effort aims to improve the management of school transport and make student travel smoother. The objective is to guarantee an efficient and functional service that responds to the needs of the school community, contributing to an easier and safer study experience for all Fiumicino students.
