Les Acteurs Des Transports Publics Et Ferroviaires Les acteurs des transports publics et ferroviaires Édition 2016 Données au 30 novembre 2016 www.utp.fr L’Union des transports publics et ferroviaires (UTP) Transport public urbain et transport ferroviaire : l’UTP représente les entreprises de ces deux branches. Ses adhérents sont les opérateurs de transport public urbain, quel que soit leur mode de gestion, les entreprises de transport ferroviaire, voyageurs et fret, et les gestionnaires d’infrastructures. La mission de l’UTP consiste à défendre les intérêts de ses près de 200 entreprises adhérentes. A ce titre, elle porte des projets au service de la qualité de vie des citoyens et du développement durable. Son action s’inscrit dans un partenariat étroit avec les pouvoirs publics, les collectivités territoriales, les organisations syndicales et l'ensemble des acteurs du ferroviaire. Désireuse de s’ouvrir à la mobilité durable au sens large, l’UTP accueille également une quarantaine de membres associés : des constructeurs de matériels, des ingénieristes, des opérateurs de stationnement, des spécialistes de la billettique et de l’information voyageurs, etc. Interlocuteur incontournable dans le secteur du transport des voyageurs et des marchandises, l’UTP réunit aujourd’hui l’ensemble des acteurs de la chaîne de la mobilité durable. • Les adhérents du transport urbain L’UTP représente plus de 170 entreprises de transport urbain réparties sur l’ensemble du territoire français. Ces sociétés évoluent sous différents statuts. Elles peuvent être liées à des groupes de transport comme CarPostal France, Keolis, Groupe RATP, SNCF Proximités, Transdev, Vectalia France. Certaines entreprises sont indépendantes. D’autres peuvent adhérer à l’association AGIR. En adhérant à l’UTP, ces entreprises de transport public urbain disposent de conseils juridiques et de veille dans le domaine social, d’informations dans les domaines techniques et économiques, d’études thématiques… • Les adhérents du transport ferroviaire L’UTP compte une vingtaine d’entreprises ferroviaires et de gestionnaires d’infrastructures. Elle a acquis une légitimité indiscutable dans le secteur ferroviaire. A l’issue d’un important travail mené paritairement depuis deux ans et après plusieurs mois de négociations, l’UTP et trois syndicats représentant près de 40 % des salariés de la branche ferroviaire ont signé les accords « Dispositions générales » et « Contrat de travail et organisation du travail » de la future convention collective nationale. • Les membres associés L’UTP accueille des entreprises qui exercent leur activité dans le secteur de la mobilité durable au sens large : stationnement, billettique, information voyageurs, construction de matériels roulants et embarqués, ingénieristes, bureaux d’études, etc. Plus de 40 entreprises ont rejoint l’association professionnelle sous le statut de membre associé afin de soutenir son action en faveur de la mobilité durable.

Les médias de l’UTP L’UTP édite « Transport Public » – revue mensuelle représentative de l'ensemble des métiers du secteur – et le site Internet « MobiliCités » – référence de l’information professionnelle. Précieux outils d’information, ces deux médias nourrissent le débat sur le transport public et la mobilité durable. La newsletter « 30 jours » traite l’information sous un angle plus grand public afin de faire connaître l’actualité du secteur aux médias plus généralistes.

During the Paris COP21 in December 2015, nearly 200 countries signed a universal agreement to cut greenhouse gases (GHG) and avoid the most dangerous effects of climate change. They committed themselves to keep rise in average global temperature below 2°C, which means a 70% GHG emissions reduction between 2010 and 2050*.

TYNE & WEAR METRO A1.1 The Tyne and Wear Metro was the first modern light rail scheme opened in the UK, coming into service between 1980 and 1984. At a cost of £284 million, the scheme comprised the connection of former suburban rail alignments with new railway construction in tunnel under central Newcastle and over the Tyne. Further extensions to the system were opened to Newcastle Airport in 1991 and to Sunderland, sharing 14 km of existing Network Rail track, in March 2002.

Thierry Mallet Chief Executive Officer Renaissance for bus services There was once a feeling that the common transit bus had become a ‘lost’ or ‘secondary’ mode of public transit trailing behind metro and light rail systems, which often took the spotlight. The perception has changed in recent years, supported by public leaders with ambition of multi- and intermodal networks in which buses truly complement, cultivate and support mobility. Re-inventing bUSES Today’s modern bus concept is no longer that of a stagnant spider-web network of oversized, loud and loitering To achieve these goals for transit authorities and “diesel guzzlers”, but rather a dynamic and integrated customers, continuous service design and evaluation of set of services, supported by interactive communication network capacity is necessary to meet people’s evolving technologies, attractive and eye-catching branding and expectations and behaviors.

  • The Renaissance of Tramways and Urban Redevelopment in France
    MISCELLANEA GEOGRAPHICA – REGIONAL STUDIES ON DEVELOPMENT Vol. 21 • No. 1 • 2017 • pp. 5-18 • ISSN: 2084-6118 • DOI: 10.1515/mgrsd-2017-0005 The renaissance of tramways and urban redevelopment in France Abstract Tramways have made a remarkable comeback in France since the Yves Boquet 1980s. An organization of public transport based on the decentralized administration system set up in the early 1980s has allowed local urban authorities to make their own choices to develop public transport networks in the context of automobile domination. As in many other countries, Department of Geography, worries about fossil fuel dependency and demands concerning sustainable Université de Bourgogne, France urban development appear as strong elements in favour of urban light rail. e-mail: [email protected] However, in France, tramways are not just technical solutions for traffic congestion, they have also become a symbol of a cultural mutation in urban development planning. Coupled with a national political push for a more inclusive city in social terms, tramways are the backbone of contemporary urban policies, in a French version of transit-oriented development (TOD), especially for mid-size cities.
