The Group’s personality traits

Our personality traits convey the daily commitment of the RATP group and its employees:

People at the core

Passengers, city inhabitants, employees... We pay special attention to people in all our reflections and implementations.

Service-oriented culture

We are much more than just a mobility operator. We maintain a culture of partnership, listening and understanding of the specific needs of each customer. Our ambition is to provide personalised, useful and innovative solutions for cities where one feels at home.

Performance

We aim to ensure our activities’ financial, technical, operational, social and environmental performance. This is what enables us to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders, serving our customers and the development of our teams.

Responsibility and inclusion

Our Group culture, our DNA, is built on ethics, compliance and social and societal responsibility. We are committed to being a player in the transformation of cities and we are working to ensure that our impact is positive and contributes towards shaping better cities.

An integrated company

We have developed unique transversal expertise in operations, maintenance and engineering. This provides us with a thorough understanding of all types of urban transport across the chain, starting with the preliminary studies and advice given to local authorities, through to the running and maintenance of complex networks.

We thus possess a rare expertise: a comprehensive vision of the life cycle of a transport infrastructure over several decades. This allows us to design innovative yet reliable, cost-effective, sustainable solutions tailored to the needs of our clients, whether they are local authorities or businesses.

Strongly established in the Île-de-France region

Historic operator of the Paris metro, we operate and maintain a multi-modal network in the Île-de-France region that ensures the continuity, quality, performance and security of over 3.3 billion journeys per year: 206 km of lines and 302 metro stations, 117 km of regional train lines (RER) and 66 stations, plus a 105 km of tram network, 4,700 buses, etc.

For this, we work in close collaboration with Île-de-France Mobilités, the organising authority for public transport in the Paris-Île-de-France region, responsible for organising, coordinating and financing public transport for the region’s passengers. Together, we strive to improve our networks, in particular by increasing the number of people responsible for passenger services, assistance and security. The 2016-2020 contract plans to invest 8.5 billion euros in upgrading and developing the network, which includes 4.2 billion euros of its own funds. Extension work is currently under way on four of our 14 metro lines.

Our Bus2025 plan, together with the support of Île-de-France Mobilités, aims to make major technological and ecological transformation by converting all of our 25 bus depots to electricity and biogas by 2025.

Thanks to our Métro2030 plan, the metro is currently undergoing one of the largest upgrading programmes since its creation. Capitalising on our expertise, and as part of a global approach, each line will be completely upgraded before 2030 to ensure that Paris becomes the city of tomorrow.

We are one of the key players in the creation of the Grand Paris Express, which will double the Paris metro network by 2030:

Both the north (to Saint-Denis Pleyel business centre) and south (up to Orly airport) extensions of automatic line 14 triple its length, forming the back bone of the new network;
To ensure smooth and easy connections, studies and adaptation work has already started on the metro and suburban railway stations that will interconnect with future lines.

Global Presence

Our Group is present across five continents, from fully-automated metro lines in Doha and in Riyadh, and in Brest, Tucson, Hong-Kong and Florence.

Whether for the designing of a whole transport network, operating or developing existing networks, we adapt to the needs and particularities of our customers with custom solutions to meet local needs.

The powerful presence of our Group is now highly structured, owning subsidiaries and entities with complementary skills. Thanks to our six main areas of expertise, we are winning contracts all over the world in both transport and engineering sectors and the transformation of public spaces:

A new legal and economic model for its historical market

RATP operates its historical networks in Île-de-France under a contract with Île-de-France Mobilités, the regional transport authority for the Paris region.

RATP is responsible for public transport services in Île-de-France, with a mission defined by Law No. 2009-1503 of December 8, 2009, relating to the organization and regulation of rail transport (ORTF law). According to this law, RATP:

Was designated as the infrastructure manager for the metro and RER networks (within the limits of the powers granted to SNCF Réseau), which it operated as of January 1, 2010.
The operation of existing lines created before December 3, 2009, continues under the contracts in effect on that date and those negotiated within the legal framework, until December 31, 2024, for bus services, until December 31, 2029, for tramway services, and until December 31, 2039, for other transport services (metro and RER). The operating rights for lines granted to RATP are therefore time-limited, with the possibility of renewal under the terms set by law.
Defines the RATP's compensation framework in its roles as infrastructure manager and operator of the lines, ensuring appropriate remuneration for the capital invested.

The transport offer in Île-de-France is defined by the Syndicat des transports d’Île-de-France (known as Île-de-France Mobilités). RATP’s operations as an operator are governed by multi-year contracts concluded with Île-de-France Mobilités. Under these contracts, the RATP commits to providing a reference transport service defined by quantity and quality and receives compensation based on direct revenues and fixed contributions from Île-de-France Mobilités.

According to the law of June 3, 2010, on the Grand Paris project, incorporated by ordinance into the Transport Code on October 28, 2010, RATP has maintained separate accounts for its activities as a metro and RER infrastructure manager (GI) and as a public passenger transport service operator (OT) since January 1, 2012. Balance sheets and income statements are published for each of these activities as an appendix to the financial statements (note 22).

RATP's accounts are consolidated into the RATP Group's consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements as of December 31, 2018, were approved by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2019.
