All transport expenses contracted or approved by Île-de-France Mobilités (operating contract, school transport, PRM, IFER fee, PRM, IFER SNCF Réseau fee, etc.) represent more than 90% of Île-de-France Mobilités' operating expenses (2016 data).
Île-de-France Mobilités' operating revenue is mainly made up of the transport payment of public assistance (2016 data). In addition, the revenues collected from users also make a significant contribution to the financing of transport in the Île-de-France region.
Transport remains a structurally loss-making public service requiring funding from local authorities and the mobilisation of VT in addition to the revenues collected from users by transporters.
In the coming years, Île-de-France Mobilités will be faced with major challenges that will call into question the current financial balances. These issues are in the areas of investment and exploitation.
In terms of investment, Île-de-France Mobilités' financing requirement over the period 2017/2030 is €1.5 billion per year.
As a result of the new offer and the Grand Paris Express, operating expenses will be €1.8 billion per year by 2030 above the current level.
