T3b extension to Porte Dauphine

The new 2015-2020 State-Region planning agreement (CPER) also recognises the interest of this extension, which is incorporated in its multimodal mobility plan.

The project schematics were approved in December 2017 by the Île-de-France Mobilités Board.

Useful information:

1. Département 75
2. Connections with the   /  
3. Future connections with the      and   /   and  

The extension will strengthen the public transport grid through connections with the RER C, the western extension of RER E (EOLE), and 3 metro lines (3, 1 and 2).

The T3 western extension aims to provide efficient public transport services, accessible to all, along the northwest section of the Paris ring road.

The T3 western extension would serve extremely dense population areas and employment basins, which are currently served by the PCI and PC3 inner ring bus lines. This extension would serve the major, strategic sector of Porte Maillot, a prime metropolitan centre that adds to Paris’ international reputation for economic activity and business travel.

The project contributes to the extensive transformation of the Porte Maillot sector, which is currently being redeveloped by the Atelier Parisien d’Urbanisme (APUR) and the City of Paris (extension of the Palais des Congrès; reconfiguration of the loop road). With the extension to Porte Dauphine, the T3b will also serve the University of Paris-Dauphine.
