In order to get to hotels and bed & breakfast situated in the historical centre, hotels’ managers will communicate to the Comune of Bologna, through authorized procedures, the number plates of their customers’ cars. In this way those cars will be authorized to enter the ZTL and will not be fined.

Tickets to access the Limited Traffic Zone
If you are not elegible to get a permission to enter the ZTL, you can purchase a daily ticket available in the TPER centres, in some authorised shops or in some supermarkets.

“T” Zone
The so called “T” zone is formed by via Ugo Bassi, Rizzoli and Indipendenza (Righi-Rizzoli part) and it is controlled by the video camera RITA. Here, access for private vehicles is forbidden 24/7. Access is allowed only to bicycles, electric or hybrid vehicles, scooters (also 3 wheel scooters) and autorized car sharing vehicles. Vehicles with DS, DSI and F signs are admitted only during certain time slots.

T-Days
Every weekend from 8 a.m. on Saturday to 10 p.m. on Sunday and every public holiday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., the “T” area and via Caprarie, via Calzolerie, dell’Archiginnasio, de’ Falegnami, Strada Maggiore (from the Due Torri to P.zza San Michele), P.zza Re Enzo and P.zza Maggiore’s east side are open only to pedestrains and bicycles. To improve the accessibility into the city centre during T-days bus “T2” is available (it stops in P.zza Maggiore and goes around the “T” area every 15 minutes) as well as buses “T1”, “A”, “29B” and “30”, that link the city centre to different car parks: Tanari, Riva Reno, VIII Agosto, Sferisterio, Autostazione, Carracci, ex-Staveco, S.
