The Integrated Regional Plan for Infrastructure and Mobility (PRIIM) of Tuscany, established under Regional Law 55/2011, is a strategic framework for coordinating infrastructure, mobility, and transport policies. The plan aligns with the objectives of the Regional Development Program 2011–2015 and includes multi-sectoral strategies, reflecting broader European and national policy goals. It integrates transportation, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation within the region.
The PRIIM emphasizes the need for a cohesive approach to address infrastructure gaps and enhance interconnectivity. It identifies critical interventions across road networks, ports, airports, public transport systems, and logistics platforms, aiming for sustainable and equitable regional mobility. Key provisions include promoting public transport, prioritizing low-emission mobility solutions, and reducing the external costs of transportation through integration and modernization.
The plan also underscores the importance of aligning mobility strategies with environmental objectives, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. It integrates these goals with related policies, including land use planning and energy efficiency. Additionally, the PRIIM seeks to bridge territorial disparities, ensuring equitable accessibility and fostering regional economic growth by supporting competitiveness and innovation.
The document mentions “cultural heritage” (patrimonio culturale) in the context of improving territorial accessibility through technological advancements. This enhanced accessibility is seen as crucial for boosting tourism and increasing the value of the region’s cultural heritage.
Overall, the PRIIM functions as a unified and adaptive tool to guide regional development, ensuring a balance between economic progress, environmental stewardship, and social equity.
