• Resident / discounted subscriptions: residents can request a sector permit to park near their home. The conditions vary depending on the area, but they significantly reduce daily parking costs.
• Subscriptions for workers / long-term: designed for those who park in the same areas every day for work reasons. They allow significant savings compared to the standard hourly rate. Available in different formats (monthly, quarterly, annual).

GTT organizes the city into different parking areas, each with specific rates and rules:

• ZTL Centrale: zones with higher rates and high turnover.
• Semi-central areas: standard or reduced rates, with numerous parking meters.
• Periphery: smart rates or free parking on weekends, with more flexible regulations.

This division allows for adapting rates to the actual demand for parking in various areas of the city.

The areas with the most blue parking spaces are:

• Historic center and ZTL: Piazza Castello, Via Roma, Quadrilatero Romano, commercial areas.
• Semi-central areas: San Salvario, Crocetta, Vanchiglia, Borgo Dora, Aurora, San Paolo.
• Hospital and university hubs: Molinette, CTO, Regina Margherita, Politecnico, Campus Einaudi.
• Transportation nodes: Porta Nuova, Porta Susa, Lingotto, main metro stations.

In these areas, parking is in high demand and regulations help ensure regular turnover of vehicles.
