The specific case in France: public transportation funded by employers through the versement mobilité
As early as the 1970s, the negative effects of the prevalence of the car, a victim of its success, were starting to be felt in France: a lack of space in cities, noise and air pollution and congestion therefore urged mobility authorities to step up urban public transportation services. This was achieved through the versement transport (VT) contribution, which was replaced by the versement mobilité(VM) upon the entry into force of the Framework Mobility Act (LOM). The VM is a local contribution payable by public- and private-sector employers with more than eleven employees, which supplements the funding of transportation networks. It is a production levy borne by companies’ economic performance.
