After the increase of nearly 10 euros in the Navigo pass on January 1, Valérie Pécresse, president of Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), the organizing authority for transport in the Ile-de-France region, convenes Monday, January 23, a "Assises of financing" to the period 2024-2030.
For David Belliard, it is urgent to find new financing solutions.
"
If we do nothing, the Navigo pass will not be at 84.10 euros, it will be at 100, 110, 120 euros
," said in an interview with
20 Minutes
, published on Friday, the ecologist assistant at the town hall of Paris, in charge of transport in particular.
“
We are facing a social bomb situation,
” he warns.

Firmly opposing a further increase in the Navigo pass, the elected ecologist, who is also vice-president of IDFM, calls for “
diversifying the methods of financing, in particular around ecological and redistributive taxation
”.
Concretely, he proposes for example to "
tax SUVs, (...) particularly in the city where they have no use and are very polluting
".
"
The tax on kerosene is also a track
," he adds.
An “eco-contribution of 50 cents per package”
Another of its key proposals, and which is likely to get people talking, concerns “
goods flow
” and “
logistics
”.
The elected ecologist wants to target Amazon-type e-commerce platforms, which “
generate billions of euros on an activity that uses a common resource which is the public space
”.
He thus proposes the establishment of an “
eco-contribution of 50 cents per parcel
”.
"
That's 180 million euros collected for the financing of our transport
", he calculates, given that "
in Ile-de-France, you have a million parcels delivered per day
".
He further suggests "
the implementation of the heavy goods vehicle eco-tax, which is a very polluting mode of transporting goods
”.

Finally, David Belliard calls for a rethink of the mobility payment, paid by companies and which contributes to the financing of transport in the Ile-de-France region.
The deputy mayor of Paris would like it to be raised for the “
most profitable companies
”.
He also imagines “
a bonus for companies that make efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and, on the other hand, a penalty for those that do not
”.
