Question 740 — rail transport

Summary

Ms. Cyrielle Chatelain draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Partnership with Territories and Decentralization, responsible for transport, to the deployment of the Grenoble metropolitan RER. By announcing on May 12, 2024, in Le Dauphiné Libéré, the opening of a first section of the metropolitan regional express service (SERM) between Grenoble and Brignoud by 2025, the Prime Minister surprised all those involved. engaged on this issue for several years. While the project has still not been launched, an opening as early as 2025 is in fact unthinkable. The president of the Grenoble metropolis, after consulting the SNCF, indicates at best a commissioning by 2028, provided that the financing is gathered as quickly as possible, in order to finally launch the infrastructure work and the purchase of rolling stock. In view of the difficulties of circulation, modal shift and decarbonization objectives, but also in view of the alarming increase in TER delays and cancellations around the Grenoble railway hub, the metropolitan RER of this metropolis is a necessity. This project is thus supported by many communities and businesses in the region, but also elected officials from all political sides, eager to see it happen as quickly as possible. However, then Although the project has been ready for several years, its implementation is not moving forward. If Law No. 2023-1269 of December 27, 2023 relating to metropolitan regional express services known as the “SERM law” made it possible to clarify the legal and operational framework for creating these new SERMs, the Grenoble project still remains at the dock. For the moment, no public interest group, provided for by article 3 of the SERM law, has been created. Above all, the Funding did not follow, in particular due to the lack of agreement on the mobility component of the contract plan between the State and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, expected for a year and a half. However, the longer the wait-and-see attitude persists, the more the cost of the necessary infrastructure increases. For the Grenoble-Brignoud branch alone, the president of the Grenoble metropolis thus mentions an additional cost of 26 million euros, for an initially planned cost of 32 million euros. Thus, beyond the announcement effects, she wishes to know the Government's intentions to launch work on the Grenoble RER and more generally on the dozen projects in France as quickly as possible. She would also like to know if the financing of these SERMs will be the subject of a multi-year programming law. Finally, regarding the Grenoble project, she particularly wishes to know the date of implementation of a dedicated public interest group, the amount of funding that the State intends to grant and the due date for payment.

   Réponse

   Le projet de service express régional métropolitain (SERM) grenoblois est l'un des plus mature de France et fait l'objet d'un large consensus de la part des élus et des acteurs économiques depuis 2018. Les porteurs du projet - région, métropole et syndicat mixte - ont formalisé leur intention par une lettre daté du 20 mars 2024. Le lancement officiel de la démarche partenariale, a été réalisé le 27 mai dernier, avant que le projet soit labellisé par le ministre chargé des transports le 27 juin 2024 qui a confirmé la possibilité de réaliser la phrase de préfiguration avec l'aide de la Société des grands projets. Les premiers travaux ont été engagés dès 2022 sur Brignoud et en 2023 pour le déplacement de la halte de Pont de Claix, avec une première mise en service fin 2024 et un horizon de livraison de la première phase en 2028. Il convient maintenant d'engager les discussions, territoire par territoire, pour apprécier la répartition des investissements entre partenaires et définir la gouvernance. Au niveau national, la programmation budgétaire prévoit un volet spécifique dans les contrats de plan État-régions (CPER) représentant un montant de l'ordre de 900 millions d'euros pour l'État, pour un total de financements publics à mobiliser à hauteur de 2,6 milliards d'euros. Le protocole mobilité du CPER 2023-2027 signé avec la région Auvergne- Rhône-Alpes, prévoit 322 M€ dont 147 M€ de part Etat pour les SERM. La loi n° 2023-1269 du 27 décembre 2023 relative aux services express régionaux métropolitains a, par ailleurs, adapté notre cadre législatif: des recettes affectées aux projets pourront aussi être mis en place, si les collectivités portant le projet le souhaitent et selon des modalités qu'elles définiront. La conférence nationale de financement des mobilités, qui aura lieu au premier semestre 2025, permettra de nourrir plus largement des propositions sur la fiscalité des mobilités.
