In late September 2026, the Lombardy Regional Council ratified a five-year agreement with Canton Ticino to improve cross-border rail mobility. The agreement focuses on the S30 Cadenazzo-Luino-Gallarate railway line, with goals to increase service frequency and potentially provide direct services to Milan. In the medium term, the plan aims for service every 120 minutes between Cadenazzo and Luino, and every 60 minutes between Luino and Gallarate, with a long-term goal of 60-minute frequency across the entire line. Concurrently, Ticino officials have requested approximately 500 million francs in federal resources to address infrastructure needs, such as doubling tracks between Cadenazzo and Locarno and increasing capacity at major railway nodes in Bellinzona, Lugano, and Mendrisio.

By late October 2026, Lombardy expanded its infrastructure focus by approving an updated Regional Program for Mobility and Transport (PRMT). This strategic plan, intended to guide development through 2032, emphasizes sustainability, accessibility, and digitalization. Major railway projects under this plan include the Brescia-Verona-Padova high-speed line, the doubling of the Codogno-Cremona-Mantova line, the Rho-Gallarate enhancement, and the quadrupling of the Milano-Pavia line. The program also incorporates significant road and urban developments, including the expansion of metropolitan and tourist cycle paths, targeting approximately 570 km of urban and 1,250 km of tourist paths.

To improve accessibility, the PRMT introduces significant fare reductions, including free transport for children under 14, a 25% discount for those under 26 and over 65, and an 85% reduction for citizens with an ISEE below 6,000 euros.
