Cashback Autostrade, who is eligible and how it works

by admin

Now it really begins. After two years since the problem of construction sites that can no longer be postponed, almost a year of announcements and months of experimentation, Autostrade per l’Italia (Aspi) launches cashback on tolls. That is, a reimbursement commensurate with the delays caused by construction sites to users with respect to normal travel times. You don’t need to have a Telepass to get it: just download an app. But for now it is only up to the Aspi network (about half of the national one) and should not be confused with similar initiatives, of a purely commercial nature.

It starts from 15 September: the right to reimbursement begins to accrue from zero hours. The money will start arriving in January, because we have to go through a transitional system.

The origin of the problem

The lack of or even omitted maintenance also emerged at a judicial level on the Aspi network (but on those of some of the other operators the situation is no different) after the Avellino massacres (bus crashed on 28 July 2013 from the Acqualonga viaduct due to problems with barriers, 40 dead) and Genoa (collapse of the Morandi Bridge on 14 August 2018, 43 deaths) led to the start of works from autumn 2019. Needed by kidnappings, by signals sent by the prosecutors or by further collapses.

Added to this is the non-compliance of the entire Italian road system with respect to compliance with the 2004 European directive on the fire safety of tunnels over 500 meters long (also because half of those existing in the Union are located in Italy). There would be time until April 2019.

How long will the emergency last

For all these reasons, the Ministry of Infrastructures (today Mims) also intervened, with inspections that have never been carried out so far and the prescription of urgent or in any case not postponable works and the establishment of guidelines (which also make it possible to qualify the works as “adaptation and strengthening of network », glossing over the past).
