Transport in Campania Campania's transport system integrates historic corridors and modern infrastructure linking Naples, Salerno, Caserta, Avellino and Benevento with national and international networks. Key arteries include ancient routes such as the Via Appia alongside modern trunks like the A1 motorway (Italy), while ports including Naples Port and Salerno Port serve as hubs for passenger ferries and freight. Rail nodes on lines operated by Trenitalia, Italo (train) and regional operators connect to Roma Termini, Milano Centrale and southern nodes, complemented by urban networks managed by Azienda Napoletana Mobilità and metropolitan services.
Campania's geography—coastal plains, volcanic terrain around Mount Vesuvius, and the Apennine Mountains—shapes multimodal corridors linking the Tyrrhenian Sea to inland valleys such as the Irpinia and the Sannio. The region sits on strategic maritime lanes to Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Mediterranean ports like Naples Port and Salerno Port, while air links serve hubs including Naples International Airport and secondary fields near Capodichino. Historic infrastructure projects from the Roman Republic and Roman Empire have evolved into contemporary projects involving the European Union and Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti (Italy).
Major motorways traverse Campania, notably the A1 motorway (Italy) (Autostrada del Sole) connecting Naples to Rome and Milan, the A3 motorway (Italy) linking Naples to Salerno and the A16 motorway (Italy) toward Bari. Secondary arterial roads include state roads such as the SS18 along the Cilento and the SS7 (modern Via Appia corridor) toward Caserta. The regional road grid interfaces with European corridors like the TEN-T network and is subject to upgrades by provincial authorities including Provincia di Salerno and Provincia di Caserta. Freight transport relies on connections to the Naples Interport and logistics platforms coordinated with operators such as Sogemar and Grimaldi Group.
Rail infrastructure comprises high-speed, intercity and regional services on lines operated by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and private operators including Trenitalia and Italo (train), with major stations at Napoli Centrale, Salerno railway station, Caserta railway station and Avellino railway station. The Naples–Salerno railway and the Rome–Naples railway form backbone corridors linking to Roma Termini and Milano Centrale, while secondary lines such as the Circumvesuviana and the Ferrovia Cumana provide local commuter links around Vesuvius National Park and Phlegraean Fields. Projects like the Naples Metro extensions and refurbishment schemes funded by the European Investment Bank aim to increase capacity and interoperability with Frecciarossa services and regional freight corridors.
Urban mobility in Naples centers on the Naples Metro, surface tramways such as the tram system of Naples, bus networks operated by ANM (Azienda Napoletana Mobilità), and suburban rail represented by the Circumvesuviana and Cumana lines. Other municipalities maintain services by companies like EAV (Ente Autonomo Volturno) in the Metropolitan City of Naples and CTP Salerno in Salerno. Integrated ticketing initiatives coordinate with regional authorities including the Campania Region and transport planning bodies such as the Metropolitan City of Naples (institution). Park-and-ride facilities link with intermodal hubs at Napoli Centrale and Salerno railway station.
Campania's principal seaports—Port of Naples, Port of Salerno and Port of Castellammare di Stabia—handle container shipping, roll-on/roll-off ferries, cruise liners and regional cabotage to islands like Ischia, Procida and Capri. Passenger ferry operators such as SNAV, Caremar and Medmar run routes connecting to Sicily and Sardinia. Strategic port infrastructure investments involve stakeholders like the Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Centrale and shipping groups including Grimaldi Group and MSC, while cruise calls link to tourism circuits encompassing Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Naples International Airport (Aeroporto di Napoli-Capodichino) is the region's primary airport offering scheduled services by carriers such as ITA Airways, Ryanair and easyJet to European nodes including London and Paris, and charter links to Mediterranean destinations. Secondary airfields include small aerodromes near Salerno and general aviation facilities used by operators cooperating with the Ente Nazionale Aviazione Civile. Air freight flows connect with road and rail intermodality toward the Naples Interport and industrial zones in Caserta.
Active modes gain prominence with cycling and pedestrian networks promoted in municipalities like Naples, Salerno and Avellino through projects funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Ministero dell'Ambiente. Initiatives include urban bike-sharing schemes coordinated with operators and NGOs, low-emission zones modeled after Zona a traffico limitato experiments, and electrification of bus fleets aligned with procurement by agencies such as ANM (Azienda Napoletana Mobilità) and EAV (Ente Autonomo Volturno). Regional planning links sustainable mobility to UNESCO sites like Amalfi Coast while integrating with national strategies promoted by Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti (Italy) and European Commission mobility directives.
