Transport in Lazio covers the multimodal systems serving Lazio and its capital Rome. The region's networks link historic nodes such as Vatican City, Ostia Antica, Tivoli and Viterbo with national corridors like the Autostrada A1 and international gateways including Fiumicino and the Port of Civitavecchia. Key operators include Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, Trenitalia, ATAC, Enac and AdSP Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale.
Lazio's transport fabric integrates arterial motorways such as the Autostrada A1 and Autostrada A24 with regional axes like the SS1 Via Aurelia and SS6 Via Casilina, intersecting rail links on the Rome–Naples and Florence–Rome corridors operated by Trenitalia and Italo. Urban networks in Rome include the Rome Metro, tramways, and extensive bus services run by ATAC and private firms such as Tper, while suburban and regional services use lines managed by Trenitalia Tper and regional transport companies associated with the Regione Lazio. Maritime connections serve Port of Civitavecchia (linking to Sardinia and Spain), while the airports at Fiumicino and Ciampino connect to carriers including Alitalia, ITA Airways, Ryanair, and Wizz Air. Planning and investment involve institutions such as the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti, Regione Lazio and European funds like the European Investment Bank.
The road system centres on the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), which encircles Rome and interlinks with motorways including the Autostrada A1, Autostrada A12, and Autostrada A24, feeding radial routes to cities such as Frosinone, Latina, Viterbo, Rieti and Civitavecchia. National roads like the SS1 Via Aurelia, SS2 Cassia and SS7 Via Appia trace ancient routes once used during the Roman Republic and Roman Empire eras, connecting archaeological sites such as Ostia Antica and Paestum via modern carriageways. Toll concessions managed by companies including Autostrade per l'Italia and maintenance contracts overseen by the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti and ANAS support freight flows to ports like Civitavecchia and industrial areas in Pomezia and Fiumicino. Congestion mitigation projects reference models from Milano and Torino while integrating urban mobility plans promulgated by the Comune di Roma.
Lazio is traversed by high-capacity axes such as the Florence–Rome high-speed railway and the Rome–Naples high-speed railway with stations at Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina operated by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and served by Trenitalia Frecce and Italo (train). Regional and commuter services include the Ferrovie regionali del Lazio, the FL suburban lines network (FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4, FL5, FL6, FL7, FL8) linking Fiumicino Airport to Roma Tiburtina and Roma Ostiense, and lines managed by companies such as Cotral and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane. Light rail and suburban projects reference international examples like Paris RER and London Overground; heritage operations call upon stations such as Viterbo Porta Romana and freight terminals at Civitavecchia railway station. Upgrades for electrification, signaling with ERTMS standards and capacity increases receive funding from the Unione Europea and national programs under the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza.
Two principal airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino, serve Lazio. Fiumicino, managed by Aeroporti di Roma, is Italy's busiest hub with intercontinental carriers including Alitalia/ITA Airways, Emirates, Delta Air Lines, Lufthansa and cargo operators such as Cargolux. Ciampino handles low-cost and general aviation traffic with airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, and has historic links to military use by the Aeronautica Militare. Air traffic control and safety are regulated by ENAC and ENAV, while surface access includes the Leonardo Express rail link and regional bus services connecting to Roma Termini and the GRA.
Rome's transit system combines the Rome Metro (Lines A, B, C), tram routes including Line 2 and heritage alignments, and an extensive bus network operated by ATAC (company) supplemented by operators such as RomaTPL and private coach services to Civitavecchia and Fiumicino. Major rail nodes include Roma Termini, Roma Tiburtina and Roma Ostiense; interchange projects link the Colosseum area and Piazza Venezia to pedestrianization schemes promoted by the Comune di Roma and conservation bodies like the Soprintendenza Archeologia. Fare integration uses electronic systems akin to models by Transport for London and involves smartcard initiatives coordinated with the Regione Lazio.
Maritime infrastructure centres on the Port of Civitavecchia, administered by AdSP Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale, which handles ferries to Sardinia, Corsica, and Spain and Ro-Ro traffic for operators like Grimaldi Group and Moby Lines. Secondary ports include Port of Gaeta (commercial and passenger), Port of Anzio (fishing and passenger links), and marinas serving destinations such as Ponza and Ventotene in the Pontine Islands. Coastal access routes connect to the SS1 Via Aurelia and rail spurs; environmental oversight engages agencies such as the Ministero dell'Ambiente and regional authorities for dredging and port expansion projects.
Strategic planning involves the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti, Regione Lazio, Comune di Roma and agencies like Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, ENAC, ENAV and Aeroporti di Roma. Investment programs draw on the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, funds from the European Investment Bank and coordination with EU directives. Projects include completion of Rome Metro Line C, GRA capacity works, upgrades to the Roma Termini hub, freight corridor enhancements on the Mediterranean Corridor and integrated mobility plans aligning with UNESCO-listed sites such as Historic Centre of Rome. Stakeholders encompass commuter associations, port authorities and operators like Autostrade per l'Italia and freight logistics firms active in hubs such as Frosinone Industrial Zone.
