Question 33463 — transportation

Summary

Mr. Cédric Villani questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery on support for public transport and the rail sector. The annual report of the High Council for the Climate was published in July 2020: “if only one recommendation were to be retained from this report, it would be to ban all support for carbon sectors from the recovery plan and to direct it as much as possible towards effective measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions”. However, to date, several billion euros have been promised to the automobile and aeronautical sectors (already helped via the tax exemption on kerosene, for example), none for rail transport, although it is essential for the transition to a less polluting economy. Too many citizens in the country cannot get by on a daily basis without a car, too many freight trucks on the roads pollute the air we breathe. In the MP's constituency, the town of Les Ulis for example, which is home to 25,000 inhabitants, with unemployment of 15% before the current crisis, is one of the most isolated in a territory which is nevertheless among the most dynamic in the country: no public transport to quickly connect the town to an RER station and an RER B which has been underinvested for years. He wants to know how he views the modes of transport, those of people and goods, in the France of tomorrow.
