ITS in Italy - TTS Italia

5T s.c.r.l. GTT Group
The Company
5T is a public-private consortium controlled by GTT (Gruppo Torinese Trasporti) founded in 2001
under mandate from the Turin Municipality. 5T is mainly aimed at management, maintenance and
development of telematics systems for traffic and transport in metropolitan areas.
The company took the name from a pilot project (5T project) launched in 1992 in order to:
help citizens move round the city more quickly;
encourage use of public transport;
reduce pollution.
The good results of this pilot project, verified by International Organizations, demonstrated the
effective contribution of integrated telematic systems to improve mobility and persuaded Turin
Municipality to set up the company.
