The G7 Ministers also reached Teatro alla Scala on a real “Carrelli”, the most beloved tram by Milanese citizens.
ATM’s involvement and contributions in the discussions related to the topics of G7 Ministerial Meetings has been significant, starting from the G7 Transport Academic Workshop organized by Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the MOST (National Center for Sustainable Mobility), titled "Planning for Resilient Transport Systems". Arrigo Giana, CEO of ATM Group, highlighted that resilience is a natural strength of Public Transport and that operators’ adaptability and readiness to tackle new challenges is crucial to guarantee mobility in our cities, especially in a scenario characterized by unpredictable shocks and instability.
ATM also contributed to the side event organized by Lombardy Region with the major players of the transport sector. The event, titled “Mobility and Future Challenges, between Network Development and Growing Global Instability”, was the occasion to underline the urgency of more resources for Local Public Transport and the need for aggregations to promote the establishment of major national operators.
Mr. Giana also participated with a selected group of Italian CEOs to an event on Ukraine Reconstruction at the presence of Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukranian Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery, emphasizing the importance of Local Public Transport as essential pillar for the reconstruction of Ukraine cities, enabling the relaunch of economic and social activities.
