However, this trend does not offset the price increases recorded in the sector over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The overall increase in the FNT over the five-year period is <strong>+9,5%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cumulative inflation in the transport sector reaches <strong>+15,4%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This results in a gradual deterioration of the Fund's purchasing power. Each year, the FNT grows less than inflation, leading to a growing gap between available resources and actual costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The inflation-adjusted FNT represents the value that the Fund would have had to reach in order to maintain its purchasing power unchanged.\nExample:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">In 2023, the actual FNT amounts to \u20ac5,054,129.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">But the amount needed to cover inflation would have been \u20ac5,549,751.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">The deviation is over \u20ac495,000 (-9.4%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The cumulative result for the last five years is a total loss of \u20ac1.5 billion, compared to the amount needed to fully cover inflation over the five-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gap represents a structural problem, as the FNT is the main source of funding for local public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>The context: stagnant wages and frozen contracts<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the unfavorable dynamics of the FNT, there is also the effect of delays in contract renewals over the last twenty years, which have resulted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salary stagnation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loss of purchasing power for workers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>need for more resources to clear the backlog when renewals are unblocked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>These resources must necessarily be obtained through a structural adjustment of the FNT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Requests from trade associations<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The trade associations Agens, ANAV, and Asstra are calling for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Structural adjustment of the FNT to sector inflation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic indexing of the Fundx<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognition of the costs of ecological transition<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional resources for contract renewals and staffing requirements<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-year stability in financing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Without immediate intervention, there is a risk of the system becoming increasingly fragile: fewer journeys, difficulties in planning investments, and increasingly critical working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left translation-block\">Conclusion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The analysis clearly shows that the National Transport Fund has not kept pace with inflation in recent years and has lost real value. Without urgent action, the public transport system risks becoming unsustainable, with effects such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>significant reduction in the resources available to public transport companies,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>slowdown in vehicle renewals and ecological transition,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>difficulties in managing staff and contracts,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>compromise in service quality and continuity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Structural and immediate intervention on the FNT is therefore essential to ensure the stability and future of local public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-small-font-size has-text-align-left has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.basco-t.com\/en\/scioperi-nei-trasporti-2024\/\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb\">Previous article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Negli ultimi cinque anni l\u2019aumento del Fondo Nazionale Trasporti (FNT) \u00e8 stato significativamente inferiore rispetto alla crescita dell\u2019indice inflattivo specifico del settore (F.O.I.
