New forms of mobility in AuRA

At Transdev Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, we support our partner local authorities Valence-Romans Déplacements, Saint-Etienne Métropole, Vichy Communauté, Arlysère, and Roanne Agglomération in managing their bicycle services, which can take various forms: self-service bicycles (VLS), medium- or long-term rentals, secure lockers and parking facilities connected to other modes of transport.

The development of bicycle services is perfectly complementary to the public transport network, with a view to integration to facilitate the daily mobility of residents.

Urbis Park Services, owned by Transdev Stationnement, designs, develops, and manages all types of solutions for comprehensive parking and traffic policies in all regions. In Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Transdev Stationnement operates the Place des Arts car park in Thonon les Bains and the on-street parking in the same town. In Lyon, the Pathé cinema in the Vaise district also relies on Transdev Stationnement for the day-to-day management of its 860-space car park.

To encourage the simplest mode of transportation, the Grenoble Urban Area Mobility Experimentation Laboratory, known as LEMON and coordinated by Transdev, launched its collaborative project “Chrono en Marche” for the second time in September 2017. This collective from the Bouchayer-Viallet neighborhood of Grenoble has innovated in several areas to make walking easier. Thanks to a signage system called “le Gouvernail” (the rudder), which changes the relationship with cartography, we guide pedestrians in the right direction to their final destination. Le Gouvernail is a bit like a modern-day version of Tom Thumb, guiding residents step by step to the neighborhood's attractions.
