Ministry for Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy urrently, eighteen French urban areas have at least one tramway line and by 2014, nine more towns will have opened their first lines. In France, the organisation of public transport is based on a decentralised Cadministrative system established in the 1980s. For thirty years, land authorities have had great autonomy to develop their public transport networks in a context of very heavy car use. Today, the car is gradually making way for public transport systems and tramways have been experiencing a revival for several years now. Tramways have been making their mark over the years because they fit into the scheme of urban renewal, transport planning and environmental concerns. This is a political choice which is firmly rooted in the sustainable development ethos and enables planners to take a new approach to urban mobility and urbanisation projects. Trams have also become a tool for promoting a town, because building a tramway implies a desire to renew the image of the town where it is located. Many French companies are using their expertise on projects to create tramways and export skills worldwide, ranging from studies and construction to operating tramway systems. 3 Dunkerque Belfort Colmar Arras Niort Béziers Thionville Amiens Belfort Maubeuge d Colmar r Arras Charleville Mézières Cherbourg Octeville Béthune Niort Béziers Boulogne sur Mer Lorient Limoges Cherbourg Brive-la-Gaillarde Saint-Malo Nevers Thionville Amiens Mâcon Brest Le Mans Roubaix Chartres Poitiers Agen Rennes Nancy Tarbes NantesBriey Metz Brest Marseille Saint-Étienne Clermont Ferran Antibes Toulouse Orléans Montpellie Bordeaux Roanne ParisCaen Bourg en Bresse Avignon Pau Évreux Annemasse Fort de France Grasse Annecy g Nancy oyes LilleNice Orléans Grenoble s Nîmes Tr Montbéliard La Rochelle ours illeurbanne Besançon Cannes Laval T V oulon Lenss Le Havre T Valence Douai ourcoing Cognac Calais Quimper s Mulhouse T Anger Dijon lenciennes Strasbour Albi Bayonne Beauvais Orléans Hagondange Va Auxerre Angoulême Reim Dunkerque g Aix en Provence Roanne Tours Bourg en Bresse THE TRAMWAY REVIVAL IN FRANCE Compiègne Saint-Quentin Rouen Lyon La Roche sur Yon Châteauroux s Saint Deni Épinal Montbéliard Caen Nîmes Chalon sur Saône Valence Douai Carcassonne Périgueux Alençon Quimper illeurbanne Bordeaux V Saint-NazaireFort de France Calais Strasbour Rouen Dax Anger Dax Biscarosse Pau Beauvais Auxerre Nice oulouse Angoulême Hendaye Biarritz T Vichy Marseille lenciennes Perpignan Dunkerque Compiègne Va Saint-Quentin Tramways, a tool in a global mobility strategy Before a tramway is built, a comprehensive analysis of travel within the town is carried out to ensure familiarity with the transport needs of the population, so that appropriate solutions can be provided.

Sainte-Cecile is a fictional small town near the cathedral city ofReims, in the champagne district ofnorth-east France. It is 14 May 1944, and the country has been under Nazi occupation for four years. At the end ofa hot Sunday afternoon, the church bell rings a languid toll for the evening service. The square in the town centre is dominated by a walled chateau on its north side.

La présente analyse détaille les remarques effectuées par les membres du site www.lyon- en-lignes.org selon une lecture détaillée et comparée à la situation de terrain rencontrée quotidiennement sur le réseau. Dans un second temps, le présent document propose des solutions alternatives à étudier en comparaison au schéma de référence proposé par le SYTRAL. APPROCHE GENERALE La restructuration : un principe souhaitable Le réseau de surface a connu en trois décennies quatre grandes restructurations : la plus importante date de 1978 lors de la mise en service de la première phase du métro ; la deuxième en 1991 lors de la mise en service de la ligne D ; la troisième en 1997 lors de son prolongement à la gare de Vaise ; et enfin en 2001 lors de la mise en service des lignes T1 et T2 du tramway. En complément, des opérations plus ponctuelles ont concerné le plateau ouest en 1980, la Croix-Rousse en 1984, le sud-est lyonnais en 1993 (prolongement de la ligne D à Vénissieux), en 2006 (mise en service de T3) et en 2009 (ouverture de T4). Atoubus est un projet d’ampleur considérable, le plus important depuis 1978. Il est nécessaire compte tenu de l’évolution importante de l’urbanisation et de la dynamique socio-démographique de l’agglomération.
