A motorway network old and accused of lack of maintenance, badly aligned with the chronic inadequacy of public transport with its few and slow lines, it creates the perfect conditions for the formation of the infamous queues. The works to improve the roads, which suddenly became urgent after the tragedy of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, led several motorists to exasperation, so much so that it was introduced the concept of reimbursement of tolls if the queues are the result of road construction sites.
But the bureaucracy doesn’t help. Currently only Autostrade per l’Italia provides the so-called cashback (which, moreover, should be paid shortly to those entitled), while the other concessionaires remain out of the scenario because it is not possible to insert an ad hoc clause in the State-operators contract.
“The postponement for all the others is not by chance. The two items (reimbursements and price increases) are closely linked: the generalized cashbacks proposed by the Minister of Infrastructure, Enrico Giovannini, met with hostility from the managers. So, given their unwillingness to voluntarily recognize them, the only chance is to make them “digest” it in the negotiations for the new Pef, the economic and financial plans that every five years fix investments, other costs and related coverage also on the basis of expected traffic and tolls. Floors all in delay. Since the rise in 2018, tariffs have been blocked due to omitted or deficient maintenance that emerged after the collapse of the Morandi Bridge, concessions that have expired or need to be retreated, old and new disputes, Covid emergency“, Reports Il Sole 24 Ore.
The cashback is therefore only for Aspi (but not for its subsidiaries) starting from September 15, 2021, and now fully operational: repayments accrued up to 31 December 2021 can be requested. We will proceed from quarter to quarter, so the next date for redemptions will be available from April for the period January-March. For those who have a Telepass and registered on the app, a
message with the amount due, without request.
