ALOT

ALOT was founded in 2008 by Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona and Mantova provinces for the promotion of infrastructures and logistic and transport services in Eastern Lombardy as well as the mobility improvement.

The Company, whose capital is fully public and equally shared between the four provinces partners, operates for the provinces themselves and represents a connection tool between public and private in the development of sustainable transport for the area.

ALOT has been designed as an incubator, developer and manager of projects for sustainable mobility on a Local European level, through the transfer of experiences and skills developed by the provinces in the last five years of planning on an inter-regional and transnational level.
