The island is divided into seven municipalities (Portoferraio, Rio, Capoliveri, Marciana Marina, Marciana, Marina di Campo, Porto Azzurro) of which the Port Towns of Portoferraio and Rio are involved in the projet. The two towns are connected to the Italian mainland with three ferry companies: one during the winter and two during the summer season: all offering routes between Piombino and the island, one, during the summer, even with Corsica (Bastia). There is an airport on the island in Marina di Campo, above all during the summer, it is used for flights to the Italian mainland and Switzerland. Elba island has a strong tourist industry thanks to its land and sea views and for its culture. Improving island services and particularly transport and mobility for people and goods are the main objectives of the Elba Sharing project.
