Verified 20 juin 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Your situation

  • You use public transport
Edit

You can take advantage of the partial support the public transit fare you use to get from home to work, whether you are a public servant or a contractor.

If you don't have a transportation fee to get to work, you're not entitled to that coverage. This is the case in the following situations:

  • You will receive other compensation or free transport between your home and work
  • You are housed by your employer's administration and you do not have to pay transportation to get to work
  • You have an official vehicle

Warning  

Some staff members may be required to reside within a specific geographical area in order to benefit from partial reimbursement of their transport costs to and from work. This is the case, for example, for research teachers.

The tickets that can be partially supported are:

  • Multi-modal (i.e. allowing different types of public transport: train, bus, etc.) with unlimited travel
  • Annual, monthly or weekly or tacit renewal cards and subscriptions to unlimited or limited trips issued by the RATP: titleContent, the SNCF: titleContent, private transport companies belonging to the Ile-de-France professional transport organization (Optile) or any other public passenger transport company
  • Subscriptions to a public bicycle rental service

Tickets purchased per unit (e.g. bus tickets purchased per unit) are not supported.

Warning  

Support for a public transport service subscription and a bike rental service subscription cannot be combined if the subscriptions cover the same routes.

General case

Your employer administration takes care of 3/4 of your subscription price.

However, the participation of your employer administration may not exceed €99.00 per month.

The participation of your employer's administration is based on the most economical fare charged by the carriers. For example on 2e class for an SNCF subscription.

For subscriptions falling within the competence of the transport organizing authority of the Ile-de-France (Île-de-France Mobility) region, the amount of the contribution shall be fixed on the basis of the annual tariff.

The participation of your employer's administration covers the cost of the ticket(s) allowing you to travel in the shortest time between your habitual residence closest to your workplace and your workplace.

If you are working part-time, incomplete or non-full-time, you receive the same support as a full-time employee if your working time is equal to or greater than half-time.

If your working time is less than half time, your support is cut in half.

Partial refunds of the price of your subscription ticket are exempt from income tax.

As a result, they are not included in the amount of net taxable income shown on your pay slips and pre-filled income tax returns.

You have multiple employer jurisdictions

If you need to subscribe to different subscriptions, each of your employer administrations will take care of the subscription(s) necessary to travel between your home and your workplace.

If you use the same subscription for all your journeys, you will receive payment for your ticket from each of your employer administrations in proportion to the time worked with each of them.

You have multiple workplaces

If you have several places of work (with the same employer's administration) , you can take care of the ticket(s) allowing you to travel between your home and your different places of work.

Partial payment of your ticket is no longer paid during the following periods:

  • Sick leave, long-term sick leave, serious illness leave, long-term leave, leave for temporary disability attributable to service
  • Maternity, adoption or paternity leave
  • Parental leave
  • Vocational training leave
  • Union Training Leave
  • Family Solidarity Leave
  • Enhanced leave
  • Annual leave taken under the Time Savings Account

Care shall continue until the end of the month in which the leave commences.

Where the service is resumed in a subsequent month, the taking over shall be effected for that entire month.

Thus, if your absence starts in one month and ends in the following month, the care is not interrupted.

On the other hand, it is interrupted when the absence begins during one month and ends more than 2 months later.

Example :

In case of absence from 4 June to 18 August, you do not benefit from the partial payment of your ticket during the month of July.
