A partnership approach
The Ile-de-France region’s key public transport players have joined forces around the RER A track replacement project.
The project will be conducted by RATP, along with SNCF and RFF, and submitted to STIF for approval. All parties are fully committed to ensuring that the construction work advances smoothly.
This collaborative effort obviates having numerous simultaneous construction sites underway throughout the Ile-de-France network, and reinforces transport services on key sections of the network depending on passenger flows.
A cross-functional project
The track replacement project also relies on the tight orchestration of RATP’s numerous in-house skills and expertise. The project requires the participation of the maintenance, operations and passenger services departments in order to ensure that construction work advances smoothly and to provide passengers with fluid and precise information.
