Why is it masculine?

Trasporto is masculine because it derives from Latin "transportus," which functioned as a masculine noun in Latin. The word comes from the Latin verb "transportare" (to carry across), and when the past participle "transportus" became a noun meaning "transport/carrying," it retained the masculine gender typical of Latin nouns of this formation. Italian inherited this masculine gender directly from the Latin masculine noun form.
