In 2016, Valérie Pécresse, in her capacity as President of Île-de-France Mobilités, created a committee of independent experts whose objective is to assess the scope and impact of the measures implemented by Île-de-France Mobilités. This committee is thus responsible for objectively assessing the evolution of the quality of the transport offer with regard to the operating or investment expenses incurred for its improvement by Île-de-France Mobilités and other public funders.
This committee is chaired by Jean-Paul Bailly, former Chairman and CEO of RATP and former Chairman of the La Poste group. It brings together:
- Yves Crozet, Professor Emeritus at Sciences-Po Lyon and former Director of the Laboratory of Planning, Economics, Transport (LAET),
- Marc Pélissier, President of the Association of Transport Users FNAUT Île-de-France,
- Yves Ramette, former Managing Director of SNCF Réseau Île-de-France and former Deputy Managing Director of RATP.
The committee has so far produced three reports, one per year, for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. These reports cover several approaches:
- An annual general overview of the evolution of public transport in Île-de-France: evolution of the offer, traffic and quality of service on the entire Ile-de-France network, progress of works and projects, elements on the cost and financing of transport, etc.
- A detailed assessment of a selection of flagship measures, implemented or completed each year,
- A further analysis of the measures presented in the previous evaluation report and for which updated data are available.
