DATES AND KEY FIGURES

2000

December 13th: adoption of the SRU law in France (SRU: Solidarité et Renouvellement Urbains - Urban Solidarity and Renovation). To satisfy the demands of organizing authorities and operators, the Group RATP set up a structure to guarantee transparent and separate accounts between activities related to its contract with the STIF (Syndicat des transports d’Ile-de-France - Ile-de-France Transport Union) and activities developed outside this contract, namely in other parts of France. This structure is the firm Urbiel, RATP’s subsidiary company (100 %) created in 1993.

Voted in December 2000, the SRU law aims to ensure greater coherence among urban and transport policies with concern for sustainable development.
