The RATP Group, Official Transporter of the French Rugby Federation and Supplier to the French National Rugby Team
The partnership established in 2005 with the French Rugby Federation (FFR) has strengthened the ties between the RATP Group and this collective and popular sport. Solidarity, respect, collective dynamics, and conviviality: the values of rugby are also the ones that unite the RATP Group's employees on the field.

Since then, the RATP Group has leveraged this commitment to serve its corporate goals and support rugby's development:
- Demonstrating its expertise by providing transport solutions, including the official bus for the French National Rugby Team (XV de France);
- Using rugby as a tool in its prevention policy to combat incivilities, particularly through promoting rugby among younger audiences;
- Creating an essential event in its network animation strategy, offering a showcase for rugby.
We are thus the Official Transporter of the FFR and Supplier of the French National Rugby Team (XV de France). We also transport foreign teams during the Autumn Tour.

Dans le cadre de ce partenariat, un car inédit aux couleurs nationales sera à disposition des joueuses et des joueurs des XV de France

Wednesdays of Rugby
As part of its partnership with the French Rugby Federation and its prevention program "Decoding the City," the RATP Group has been conducting a civic operation for middle school students in the suburbs of Ile-de-France since 2007: the Wednesdays of Rugby.
This initiative promotes civility on public transportation and living together through the values of the partnership with the FFR: respect, team spirit, and sharing. It is led by RATP ambassadors accompanied by representatives from the French Rugby Federation.
The operation consists of two parts:
- A theoretical part in the classroom, allowing young people to engage with RATP ambassadors, especially regarding the rules of behavior on public transportation and in rugby.
- A practical part to discover rugby and tackle incivilities through fun workshops: ball handling, passing, kicking...
Since 2007, over 70 middle schools in Ile-de-France and more than 5,000 students have participated in this program.
