The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda has provisionally granted 2,842,939.53 euros in aid to Navarre for financing the 50% reduction in the price of subscriptions and multi-travel titles for collective public transport of its competence for six months. In particular, the local entities have allocated 2,444,215.24 euros (2,430,803.41 euros for the Community of the Region of Pamplona and 13,411.83 euros for the City of Tudela), while the regional government will receive 398,724.29 euros.
In the whole of Spain, 326.5 million euros are allocated for this purpose, of which 209 correspond to the autonomous communities and the rest, 117, to autonomous cities and local entities.
Direct subsidies are calculated on the basis of information communicated by local and regional authorities on what type of certificates for regular travellers will record discounts of 50% by attaching a declaration responsible for the estimated percentage of the turnover that their sale will entail in relation to the total income from the sale of tickets for their transport services in the year 2023, a figure that has been used to adjust the direct aid to be granted.
The Ministry published the provisional resolution of the granting of direct aid to the autonomous communities on April 4 and now the decision of the local entities has been made public. The deadline for submissions before their final award is already open.
Boosting public collective transport
This measure adds to the gratuitousness of the services of Cerca, Rodalies and Media Distancia conventional and to the discounts of 50% of the services Avant and the bonus of 100% of the bus lines of state ownership for recurrent users approved by the Government for 2023. Measures that, in the case of rail services, which entered into force on 1 January, are already republishing last year’s success.
Collective public transport is an essential, safe, reliable, comfortable, more economical mode of transport, avoiding traffic jams in a particular vehicle, which also allows you to take advantage of that travel time for other purposes.
On the other hand, it is fairer in social terms, more inclusive and has a high positive impact on the economy and industry. In addition, it is a key element to achieve the climate and emission reduction objectives of all kinds and to improve the accident rate that we have set ourselves as a society.
