The University collects, twice a year, requests from employees concerning the purchase of annual season tickets for public transport for the home-to-work journey, in order to promote sustainable mobility.
There are two start dates for annual travel passes: February and July.
Those interested in purchasing, at a reduced rate through the University, the annual season ticket with a start date of 1 February 2026 must submit an application by 18 December 2025 for the following public transport operators:
- AVM (formerly ACTV)
- BUSITALIA (urban and extra-urban transport)
- MOM (Mobilità di Marca)
- TRENITALIA (regional/interregional)
The purchase is made directly by the University, thus allowing the employee to benefit from the fare reduction provided by the public transport operators on the annual season ticket, namely payment of ten monthly instalments instead of twelve. The cost is then recovered by the University through monthly instalments deducted directly from the employee’s payslip:
- for permanent staff, through 12 monthly deductions;
- for fixed-term staff, through monthly deductions corresponding to the duration of the contract, provided that the contract has a minimum duration of 8 months within the validity period of the requested travel pass.
The application must be submitted exclusively online on the intranet site, accessible by following the path: SIT - servizi personali - link utili alla persona - Welfare, under the "Trasporti" section.
For the BUSITALIA annual season ticket, the procedure also provides for the issue of the relevant card with the same validity period. For AVM and MOM, applicants must declare that they already hold the relevant card valid for the requested subscription period, or otherwise arrange the renewal themselves.
Anyone applying for a BUSITALIA season ticket who has obtained the Voucher Regionale during this month may attach it in order to obtain from the transport operator a reduction in the cost of the annual season ticket.
Informational link for the issue of the Voucher Regionale
The Regional contribution cannot be combined with other State contributions or with contributions from other public administrations; therefore, it is not possible to request reimbursement of the season ticket that has benefited from the Voucher Regionale through the Conto Welfare. Nor can that same season ticket be reimbursed by the transport operator in the event of cancellation during its validity period.
For further information and clarification, a ticket may be submitted via Help desk to the queue AREA RISORSE UMANE / UFFICIO TRATTAMENTI ECONOMICI E WELFARE / SETTORE WELFARE /TRASPORTI.
