Question 14185 — rail transport

Summary

Mr. Lionel Duparay questions the Minister of Transport about the difficulties encountered by many educational establishments, particularly in rural areas, in organizing school trips by train and accessing group reservations with the SNCF. The organization of these educational trips requires preparation several months in advance and the validation of a detailed file by the national education system. However, the cost of coach transport is currently very high, which weakens these projects and may lead certain establishments to abandon it or to increase the participation of families. However, using the train appears to be a relevant solution, particularly from an ecological, economic and educational point of view. However, many teachers report significant difficulties in booking group tickets, as some trains are not available accessible to groups or responses occurring too late to allow for peaceful organization. This situation creates significant uncertainty for educational teams and particularly penalizes students from rural areas, even though school trips constitute an important lever for cultural openness. In this context, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to improve access for school groups to rail reservations, to guarantee better visibility for establishments and to consider, where appropriate, measures facilitating or prioritizing school travel on trains.
