Question 20652 — transportation

Summary

Ms. Barbara Bessot Ballot draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, on the subject of mobility in rural areas and home-work and home-school travel. As part of the examination of the “Mobility” bill, one of the central objectives of which is to better respond to the daily needs of citizens, territories and businesses, a recent study relating to the impact of travel made by families demonstrates that Haut-Saône households are increasingly sensitive to their “transport” budget, and that it is still difficult for them to reconcile mobility and savings (study by the Family Observatory, body of the Regional Union of family associations of the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region). Also, in rural departments, the car remains the mode of transport privileged for most residents, to the detriment of the use of public transport, which remains very occasional in these areas. Furthermore, it should be noted that rural households “drive” on average more than the French. Three factors explain this observation: the geographical distribution of the population; the provision of public transport; but also the habits of fellow citizens. Low use of transport collectives always results from the absence of a station near the place of residence or the place of work, but also from the unsuitability of schedules to the needs of households. In fact, the service and timetables are real obstacles to the use of this mode of transport for French people in rural areas. Thus, if these two aspects were adapted to the real expectations and needs of households, they could favor the use of transport collectives for their home-work or home-school trips. Finally, although carpooling is growing in the regions, this practice is still little used by these households, the main obstacle still residing in the compatibility of schedules, and in particular working schedules, between the users concerned. In this context, it draws its attention to know the concrete actions planned by the Government to respond to mobility challenges in rural areas, and achieve the objectives set out in the “Mobility” bill, by further developing and facilitating home-work and home-school travel within rural areas.
