STUDY VISIT IN

On 12 and 13 March 2015, the European Club of Intermodal Regions and Cities, managed by INTERMODES, and SYTRAL (Syndicat des Transports pour le Rhône et l’Agglomération Lyonnaise) invite you to experience the transportation network of the . Lyon was awarded the INTERMODES Prize in 2014 both for its policy in favour of intermodal passenger transport development and for its desire to constantly improve mobility for the benefit of its citizens, for the sake of economic dynamism.

Métropole de Lyon was created on 1 January 2015. It is a regional government with unique legal status in , created by the merger of the and the Rhône General Council 59 cities that make up the Greater Lyon area. The Rhône General Council continues to exercise its competence over 228 other cities. The metropolis has 1.3 million inhabitants in an area of 538 km2. The President of Métropole de Lyon is Gérard COLLOMB, Mayor of Lyon.

The public transport network is subject to continuous improvement through a public service delegation agreement reached with the SYTRAL, the metropolitan area transport organising authority. Métropole de Lyon also provides support to the development of the regional express train networks (TER), led by the region. As of 1 January 2015, SYTRAL became the sole transport organizing authority for urban and interurban transport on the entire territory of the Lyon metropolis and the Rhône General Council. Even though the enlargement to the Rhône General Council has taken place on 1 January 2015, the SYTRAL will truly be in a position to develop new tools next September only. According to Bernard RIVALTA, Chairman of SYTRAL, 6 months will be needed to determine the adjustments to be made with expenditure and networks rationalization in focus. The first development should be operational by the beginning of September, 2015. SYTRAL's major goal is to provide the best transportation offer for the territory’s inhabitants by developing networks and services. SYTRAL’s urban and interurban transport development policy is based on the territory’s networking and the connection between the different clusters. As transport organizing authority, SYTRAL delegates the operation of networks to private transport operators in the framework of public service delegation agreements. Among them, KEOLIS Lyon is the transport operator for TCL, the Lyon public transport network. Operating in Lyon and its suburbs, TCL proposes the best transport offer in France according to frequency criteria, network, kilometers traveled per capita and commercial speed.

SYTRAL Key figures: 1.7 million inhabitants, 290 municipalities, 3 networks (TCL, Cars du Rhône and Libellule), 2 services (Rhônexpress and Optibus), 1 billion investments over the 2008 -2014 period
