The groupement des autorités responsables de transport (GART, "Association of Transport Authorities") is a French Association (as defined by the Шаблон:Lang) founded in 1980. It is formed of 263 Шаблон:Lang, of which 185 are agglomeration communities or urban communities, 59 are general councils and 19 are regional councils. These members have the objective of implementing and improving public transport in France. GART is a platform of exchange and transport matters, representing all political tendencies, and acts as their spokesbody at the national and European level.
Mission
To be the spokesbody for French transport organisations before institutions, government, parliament, European Union bodies and the mass media.
- To offer to its members advice and expertise on economic, financial, legal and technical matters.
- Sustain and enliven debates on new projects and propose solutions that are both practical and innovative.
- Bring together players in the transport industry. GART stands up for "Шаблон:Lang" ("The concept of a public transport service accessible to all at the economic, spatial and physical levels. The poor, those far from town, or with reduced mobility, should all benefit from the best possible transport to have access to education, work, facilities and services").
