The interactive border map shows the complete Swiss-Italian frontier in the Ticino region, marking all border crossings, customs offices, and key infrastructure. The map highlights the 20 km zone from the border — the threshold that determines which fiscal regime applies to cross-border workers under the 2026 New Agreement.
Each crossing is annotated with opening hours, traffic type (pedestrian, vehicle, commercial), and links to real-time webcam feeds where available. The map also shows major transport corridors: the A2 motorway (Chiasso-Gotthard), regional rail lines (TILO), and bus routes connecting Italian border towns to Ticino employment centres.
For workers choosing a residence municipality, the map provides distance measurements to the nearest border crossing and commute time estimates to Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno, and Mendrisio — essential data for the G permit vs B permit decision.
