Prime Macron 2022: conditions, amount, date of payment... how does it work?
This is currently only one scenario among others.
Ile-de-France Mobilités must indeed find a way to balance its budget burdened by the rise in the cost of energy and inflation.
Among the tracks considered, a large state subsidy of up to 650 million euros.
If necessary, the increase in ticket prices could be avoided.
Another scenario: sharing the effort.
Here all financiers would put their hands in the pot equally.
Communities would increase their payment by 7.5%.
Companies would see the rate of the mobility payment rise by the same amount and the same for the price of tickets.
It is only if the two different scenarios do not succeed that the authority will have to rest a large part of the effort on the users.
The final decision must be considered at the next board meeting to be held on December 7.
