IMPORTANT:
Italian Decree Law n° 50 of 17th May 2022 (and its Conversion into Law n° 91 of 15th July 2022) allocated resources to create a fund aimed at distributing vouchers to purchase annual tickets for local, regional and interregional public transport services or national rail services until 31st December 2022. The value of the voucher may not exceed the amount of 60€. The voucher will be distributed to individuals whose 2021 total income does not exceed 35,000€.
Since at the time of publication of this document the procedures for accessing the "state" voucher are not available yet, those in the above conditions are invited to apply for it as soon as the procedures are available.
Politecnico might reduce the reimbursement of transportation expenses - to a maximum value of 60 euros -, for all students entitled to the "state" bonus, regardless of whether they have applied for it or not.
“UPDATE: following the publication of the details about the government’s transportation voucher, for a.y. 2022/2023 the maximum refundable amount abovementioned is reduced of the voucher’s value of 60€”.
